Report Sample Abstract
PHOTOLITHOGRAPHIC (LIGHT GENERATED) OLIGONUCLEOTIDE CHIPS
Photolithography is a method of constructing DNA microarrays in which an etching pattern is created on a platform by exposing it to light, either directly or using optical masks that ensure the DNA synthesis is stimulated in the defined desired nucleotide positions. Affymetrix was the pioneer this in-situ fabrication technique and used it to produce its high density oligonucleotide microarray - Gene Chips.
Advantages of photolitholithography:
- Photolithography is very efficient;
- It is best-suited for large volume runs (industrial applications);
- Spot density is already high--up to 500,000 features per chip.
DNA/GENE CHIPS (DNA MICROARRAY) MARKET BY APPLICATIONS
The DNA microarray applications marketplace is changing rapidly, however the market is expected to grow at a modest pace in the future. Although “gene expression” still remains the most popular application of DNA microarrays, other applications like SNP genotyping, drug discovery, and genomics are also rapidly gaining ground and spurring growth. Microarrays are widely adopted in the field of genomics, drug discovery, and cancer research and for treatment of various diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Asthma, and infectious diseases.
The major market player in DNA microarray market is Affymetrix (Santa Clara, CA) followed by
Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, CA), and Illumina (San Diego, CA). However, there are many new entrants in the market and several major developments are taking place; for instance, in March 2010, Affymetrix launched a complete and compact microarray system for easy, affordable Whole-Genome Analysis making it increasingly challenging to maintain viable business models in this arena.
