Cells used in in vitro cell culture,
especially animal cell culture, get attached to the surface of the
container. These cells need to be detached for further use. Detachment
of adherent cells from the surface or substrate to which these are
attached is done with the help of cell dissociation reagents. Cell
dissociation reagents along with chelators are largely used during cell
passaging. The cell dissociation reagents carry out collagenolytic and
proteolytic activity for the disengagement of cell lines and tissues
from the plastic or glass surfaces to increase the isolation efficiency
with high cell viability.
Despite the worldwide use of enzymes for
cell dissociation applications over the years, their mechanisms of
action in cell isolation and detachment are little known. Selection of
the suitable enzyme of choice is based upon the type of tissue or cells
in culture. The global cell dissociation reagents market is driven by
superior technological advancements in the area of non-enzymatic cell
dissociation along with chelators with reduced neutralization steps,
lower enzyme denaturation or autodegradation, and quality control to
confirm homogeneity and reliability to provide maximum yield of
functionally viable cells during cell passaging from culture vessels.
Issues with sterility maintenance, unsuitable for use in in vivo
diagnostics, and occurrences of high decontamination with bacteria if
kept still for longer time in the laboratory leading to shorter expiry
periods for usage restrain the growth of the market.
The global cell dissociation reagents
market has been segmented based on product type, product morphology,
application, and end-user. In terms of product type, the global cell
dissociation reagents market has been classified into enzymatic cell
dissociation reagents and non-enzymatic cell dissociation reagents. The
enzymatic cell dissociation reagents is further categorized into trypsin
collagenase, elastase, protease, and others. Based on product
morphology, the market has been bifurcated into solutions and powders.
In terms of application, the global cell dissociation reagents market
has been segmented into antibody production, veterinary applications,
cell culture maintenance, immunoassays (radiolabelling assays), and
others. The cell culture maintenance segment is expected to account for
the largest share of the global cell dissociation reagents market during
the forecast period. Based on end-user, the global cell dissociation
reagents market is divided into research/academic institutes, diagnostic
labs, pharmaceutical companies, cell banks, and others. The
research/academic institutes segment is anticipated to expand at a high
growth rate during the forecast period.
The recombinant cell dissociation
reagents that have non-mammalian, non-bacterial origin which will not
harm the structural and functional quality of cell membrane and cell
surface epitopes and proteins by keeping them intact. This acts as a
major driver of the global cell dissociation reagents market. An
emerging trend in the market is to provide cost-effective cell
dissociation reagents prepared by intense quality analysis for
sterility, performance, low antibody titer, mycoplasmas and endotoxins
along with intricate manufacturing process that retain the enzymatic
activity for longer periods.
In terms of region, the global cell
dissociation reagents market is divided into five regions: North
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East &
Africa. Asia Pacific is estimated to show a continual growth driven by
increasing biotech start-ups due to economical manufacturing of cell
dissociation reagents, rising demand for cost effective and low cost
cell dissociation reagents, and increasing cell maintenance banks and
specialty research institutes. North America is projected to dominate
the global cell dissociation reagents market due to high adoption of new
and technologically advanced products with cutting edge technologies,
increasing research and development investments, and rising demand from
research institutes.
Key players in the global cell
dissociation reagents market are Sigma-Aldrich Co. LLC., GE Healthcare,
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., HiMedia Laboratories, Atlanta
Biologicals, Inc., EuroClone S.p.A., Irvine Scientific, Gemini
Bio-Products, STEMCELL Technologies, Inc., Cyagen Biosciences, Inc., and
PromoCell GmbH, among others.
