Technology Trends Leading Desalting and Buffer Exchange Market

Market Highlights:

The Global Desalting and Buffer Exchange Market is anticipated to have held a market value of USD 615.20 million in the year 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period. Desalting and buffer exchange play a key role in biotechnological companies. Buffer exchange is used to place a protein solution into a more suitable buffer before applications such as electrophoresis, ion exchange, affinity chromatography among others.

Buffer exchange is the term used when one set of buffer salts in a sample is exchanged by another more appropriate buffer set. The rising demand for monoclonal antibodies, growing research and development expenditure by the biopharmaceutical companies, and rising focus on proteomic and genomic research is anticipated to boost the growth of the market over the forecast period. However, the dearth of skilled professionals is excepted to hamper market growth.

The global Desalting and Buffer Exchange Market is currently governed by a large number of market players.
