Description-

Specimen processing is a part of a
laboratory procedure that involves receiving, identifying, sorting,
barcode labelling, preparation, and distribution of blood, urine,
sputum, or other biological specimens. The specimen processing may
include centrifugation of blood samples to obtain separate layers of
blood components and thorough mixing of samples or specimens to
ensure even distribution of components in the test sample. Specimen
processing is also associated with clerical tasks such as recording,
filing, storage, and computer processing of the clinical data. After
completion of specimen processing, specimens are sent to different
departments of pathology and laboratories for testing. The specimen
processing mostly involves manual tasks and requires skilled
professionals.

It is a time-consuming process. For
processing a large number of specimens per day, it is imperative for
any laboratory to automate specimen-processing tasks, which would
give enhanced outcomes within a short duration of time. Technological
developments in clinical and pathological laboratories in the last
decade have led to a significant transformation from discrete manual
processes to fully automated systems. The automated specimen
processing offers several advantages over the manual processing such
as time- and cost-saving, improvement in the consistency of specimen
processing, and minimizing the risk of laboratory-acquired
infections.
The global automated specimen processing market is
projected to be driven by the rising demand for laboratory automation
procedures led by the increasing number of specimen preparations per
day for testing, shortage of technically skilled professionals, and
increasing pressure for low turnaround time of infectious disease
assays. Increase in the number of geriatric patients requiring
different biological sample tests, rise in the incidence of
infectious diseases, and increasing pressure for on-site and quicker
diagnosis of diseases are factors driving the demand for automated
specimen processing. The automated specimen processing reduces
laboratory costs; eliminates human errors; and improves overall
laboratory outcomes. Also, increasing workflow of specimen processing
procedures and shortage of skilled microbiology professionals across
the globe is observed. These factors are likely to propel the demand
for automated specimen processing equipments during forecast period.
Automated specimen processing requires high capital investments. This
is likely to be a key restraining factor for the automated specimen
processing market during the forecast period.
The automated specimen market can be broadly
segmented on the basis of end-user and geography. Currently, only
four specimen processors are available: walk-away specimen processor
(WASP) by Copan Diagnostics, Inc.; the Previ Isola automated plate
streaker by bioMérieux SA; and Innova processor and InoqulA specimen
processing device by Becton, Dickinson and Company. Each of these
instruments offers unique advantages over others and is capable of
automating the specimen processing of liquid-based samples. Based on
end-user, the automated specimen processing market has been segmented
into hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and clinical microbiology
laboratories. The diagnostics laboratories segment is projected to
dominate the global automated specimen market by 2025.
Geographically, the global automated specimen
processing market has been segmented into five regions: North
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East &
Africa. North America dominates the global automated specimen
processing market, owing to lack of manpower in microbiology
laboratories, rising incidence of infectious diseases, and
well-established health care infrastructure in the region. The market
in Europe is projected to witness exponential growth during the
forecast period, due to expanding health care infrastructure, growing
number of pathological laboratories, and rising demand for laboratory
automation in the region. In Asia Pacific, Japan is projected to
account for a leading market share by the end of the forecast period.
The market in China is likely to expand at the maximum CAGR during
the forecast period. The markets in Latin America and Middle East &
Africa are likely to witness steady growth during the forecast
period.
Key players operating in the global automated
specimen processing market include bioMérieux SA, Leica Biosystems
Nussloch GmbH, Becton, Dickinson and Company, and Copan Diagnostics,
Inc. A trend of collaborations and acquisitions has been observed in
last decade in the global automated specimen processing market.
In January 2015, bioMérieux SA and Copan Diagnostics, Inc. signed a
strategic partnership agreement for distribution and co-development
of automated solutions for microbiology laboratories.
