Molecular diagnostics is the fastest growing segment of the in vitro diagnostics market, according to a study by DeciBio, a Los Angeles-based market analysis firm. Stéphane Budel, a partner in the company, said the market size, estimated at $4.8 billion in 2010, has experienced a growth rate of approximately 15 percent over the past few years, driven by the increased availability of tests, the rising incidence of chronic diseases related to the aging population, and pharmacogenomics/personalized medicine. DeciBio published its report Molecular Dx: Market Segmentation and...Read full article

    Glossary
    chemiluminescence
    A chemical reaction involving the production of light. The reaction of ethylene with ozone is chemiluminescent.
    fluorescence
    Fluorescence is a type of luminescence, which is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, fluorescence involves the absorption of light at one wavelength and the subsequent re-emission of light at a longer wavelength. The emitted light occurs almost instantaneously and ceases when the excitation light source is removed. Key characteristics of fluorescence include: Excitation and emission wavelengths: Fluorescent materials...
    histology
    Histology is the branch of biology and medicine that involves the study of the microscopic structure of tissues and organs at the cellular and subcellular levels. It is a field that focuses on the examination of tissues to understand their organization, composition, and functions. Key points about histology: Microscopic examination: Histology involves the use of microscopes to examine thin tissue sections, often stained with dyes to enhance the visibility of cellular structures. This allows...
    multiplexing
    The combination of two or more signals for transmission along a single wire, path or carrier. In most optical communication systems this is referred to as wavelength division multiplexing, in which the combination of different signals for transmission are imbedded in multiple wavelengths over a single optical channel. The optical channel is a fiber optic cable or any other standard optical waveguide.
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
