The Market for SNP Products & Services Enabling Pharmacogenomics

Life science suppliers are supporting SNP genotyping with a broad spectrum of products and services. When contemplating the landscape of SNP genotyping methods, researchers can become easily overwhelmed by the options available at every step of the process, from the selection of which molecular technique to use, to a myriad of choices for labeling, detection and scoring. Based on a 32-question survey of over 540 SNP genotyping researchers, this report shows how and why scientists choose one genotyping method over another, what products and services they are buying and the challenges they continue to face by focusing on their actual experiences, preferences and expectations. Opportunities abound for the suppliers who are attuned to meeting the specific evolving needs of their customers. 

The major objectives of this report are as follows:

> Examine the applications of SNP genotyping

> Ascertain how SNP genotyping is performed

> Understand why researchers decide to outsource SNP genotyping

> Determine the attributes of SNP genotyping reagents that are influential in purchasing decisions

> Determine current throughput levels and reaction costs

> Identify the preferred suppliers of SNP genotyping products and services

> Understand - from the user's perspective - the level of satisfaction with current products and to identify any unmet needs in the area of SNP genotyping
