Strategic Initiatives by Companies Drive Europe Transfection Reagents and Equipment Market
Transfection is the complex step in the overall process of developing a viral vector, which includes adenovirus, adeno-associated virus, and lentivirus. As the manufacturing processes are scaled up, transient transfection must also be ramped up. Process equipment vendors, drug developers, and raw material suppliers are focusing on collaborations to develop cost-effective, practical, and platformizable solutions for the rapid development and scaling up of viral vector manufacturing processes. On small scales, with planned material volumes and transfer & mixing times, transfecting cells with multiple plasmids becomes feasible. Scaling up requires experience in industrializing the transfection step since most companies only have transfection experience at the lab level. However, the volume of cell-culture media and transfection reagents required for scaling up the process to a larger level can be impractical, which emphasizes the need for optimization. Nonetheless, broadening the scale of production has become common in recent years with the surging demand for viral vectors. With numerous challenges associated with large-scale transfection processes, the best approach to increase production is by reducing the process rather than scaling up the process. This top-down approach allows clear identification of the conditions that will impact the process at the industrial level such as the volume of transfection complex solution. This approach also facilitates process optimization and decision-making. The development of such approaches to ramp up the small-scale transfection processes acts as an opportunity for the growth of the Europe transfection reagents and equipment market.
Europe Transfection Reagents and Equipment Market Overview
Europe region segmented into UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Rest of Europe. United Kingdom holds the largest market share in the year 2022.
