Market Definition
Cryo-electron microscopy is a technique that uses electron microscopy to image frozen-hydrated samples at cryogenic temperatures. Specimens can be studied in their natural state without using colors or fixatives, allowing for the study of appropriate viruses, cellular structures, and protein diversity at molecular resolution.
A computer is then used to process and calculate a large number of 2D (two‐dimensional) images, and reconstruct the 3D (three‐dimensional) structure of the biomacromolecule. 3D reconstruction is used to deduce 3D structure from 2D images. Thus cryo‐EM has made great achievements in the determination of macromolecular structure, especially the structures of supramolecular systems. The breakthrough of this technology has led to a revolution in structural biology.
Middle East and Africa Cryo-Electron Microscopy Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
RISING TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS IN MICROSCOPY
Digitization, live-cell imaging, super-resolution, and high throughput techniques are examples of technological developments in microscopy. These developments aid in cutting back on product and testing expenses. Expansion microscopes, Scanning Helium Microscopes (SHeM), multi-view microscopes, and integrated microscopy processes are recent advancements in microscope technology.
The most recent development in the market for sample preparation and electron microscopy is digital microscopy. Digital imaging provides superior image resolution and precision, which results in fewer distorted images and better sample viewing. The development of entire slide scanning devices has expedited the use of digital microscopy. These systems provide detailed specimen visualization using 2D and 3D images for application in research and development, forensics, quality assurance, and failure analysis.
Therefore, various technological advancements in the field of microscopy include developments in AI, automation, and continuous improvements in super-resolution microscopy. The manufacturers are continuously adding inputs to improve AI and automation of their microscopes, allowing for faster imaging and less sample prep. New capabilities are expected to drive the Middle East and Africa cryo-electron microscopy market growth.
RAPID DEVELOPMENTS OF NANOTECHNOLOGY
Many disciplines, including health, the space program, the manufacture of fabrics, food, fuel cells, solar cells, and water purification, have benefited from nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the subject of several research and development projects, which is seen to be one of the factors promoting the expansion of this market.
Cryo-electron microscopy is a well-known and advanced tool used to visualize high-resolution images of biological samples. It provides the functional and morphological information of the tissues and cells and is used in nanotechnology to evaluate nanoparticle penetration in the desired location.
The rise in the prevalence of nanotechnology in the life science domain and the development and recent advancement in nanoparticles impact and healthily increase microscopy usage and may drive the market in the forecasted period.
RESTRAINTS
HIGH COST OF ELECTRON MICROSCOPY SETUP
With the recent advancement, the increase in research and development among the players and the prevalence of nanotechnology in the domain lead to more prices of microscopy units for high-resolution imaging of the samples. For various causes, such as various research and developments in biological models, and life sciences studies, the imaging model grew, and with the increase in advancement, the prices are also high.
Despite the high cost of the setup, even the parts of the microscope and maintenance of the microscopy unit are very costly, and medium-level or low-level labs cannot afford the microscopy.
Hence, an increase in the research and development in the life science domain is leading to more advancement in microscopy, and that advancement is continuously increasing the price of the microscopy and its units, which may hamper the growth of the Middle East and Africa cryo-electron microscopy market.
DISADVANTAGES OF USING CRYO-ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
Cryo-electron microscopy is used in a variety of fields. Nanoparticle research relies heavily on electron microscopy for the visualization of small particles. Pharmaceutical companies doing drug research utilize electron microscopy to help predict the behavior structure of drugs and biological matter. In the case of pharmaceutical research, a 3D visualization is extremely useful, and cryo-electron microscopy is majorly used for the proposes of least damage to the sample to obtain a usable image. Therefore, the disadvantages of using cryo-electron microscopy are expected to hinder market growth in the upcoming years.
