Label-Free Detection (LFD) is a technique used for discovering biomolecules and their interactions. This method has emerged as an attractive research and development tool in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. Label-free technology uses impedance- or optics-based biosensors to measure the changes upon analyte binding to a ligand immobilized on a biosensor surface. This approach enables the interaction to be monitored in real-time without manipulating the individual assay components artificially. A defining feature of label-free technology is the method used for ligand immobilization.

The label free detection market is segmented on the basis of product, technology, application, end user and geography. The market, by geography, is broadly segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America. The report offers insights and in-depth analysis of the market, emphasizing parameters such as market trends, technological advancements, and market dynamics, along with the analysis of the competitive landscape of the globally leading market players.   

Market Insights

Growing Number of Drug Discovery Programs through Academic–Industrial Partnerships to Drive Label Free Detection Market Growth during Forecast Period

Direct partnerships between pharma/biotech companies and academic centers are becoming prevalent. For academic researchers and researchers in pharma, the benefits of these partnerships are evident. Financial support from pharma provides steady funding and increases their opportunity to do impactful work. These collaborations may begin as funding for academic research for promising candidates. The strategy helps pharmaceutical companies fill gaps in their portfolio at lower costs and risks. A few examples of innovative academic–industrial collaborations are—Takeda Pharmaceuticals with Kyoto University in Japan and Stanford University in the US and Sanofi with the University of California, San Francisco (the US). In 2020, Creoptix collaborated with Professor Adriano Aguzzi and the University of Zurich to analyze SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in COVID-19 patients using the Creoptix WAVE system. Therefore, the growing number of drug discovery programs through academic–industrial partnerships propels the growth of the label free detection market.
