Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/sgzvkj/cell_surface) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Cell Surface Markers Market - Trends and Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering.

Cell surface markers serve as the prime component in identification and categorization of cells such as lymphocytes, macrophages, monocytes, tumor cells and other cells majorly related to immunology. Cell surface marker analysis is performed through the use of technologies namely, flow cytometry and hematology analyzers and can be carried out on various samples such as lymph nodes, blood, bone marrow and other tissues.

Such analysis may allow simplification of disease diagnosis and identification, sample preparation and drug discovery. Identification of specific types of molecules through cell surface marker analysis helps in efficient disease diagnosis and thereby assists in determination of disease treatment and drugs. Cell surface markers analysis enables the quantification of the scope of new drugs reaching the intended target and are also responsible for achieving the clinical outcomes by altering the proposed pathophysiological mechanisms. Disease diagnosis by detection or use of cell surface markers has been beneficial and critical in developing innovative and reliable indicators with high specificity for the diagnosis and prognosis of different types of diseases, majorly cancer.

Companies investing heavily in developing automated systems with improved sample processing and analysis may gain greater benefits in the near future. Introduction of new and cost-effective instruments is further facilitating the growth of new market entrants and is also being achieved via showcasing advantages of the software and technical capabilities of their instruments at various conferences, laboratories, trade shows, web casting and electronic newsletters.
