Competing in the Global Clinical Chemistry and Immunodiagnostic Markets

The clinical chemistry and immunodiagnostics markets are undergoing significant transformation, caused by convergence of new and more stringent regulations; advances in diagnostic technologies, system engineering, automation, and IT; and intensifying competition.  Some segments, like routine chemistry, begin to resemble commodity markets, where product positioning and cost per test are more critical than underlying technology.  This evolving marketplace creates exciting opportunities for a variety of new instruments, reagent systems, and auxiliary products, such as specimen preparation devices, controls, and calibrators.
