Growth Factors in the Cell Isolation Market Industry:

• Explosive Growth of Cell and Gene Therapies

The largest driver for the cell isolation market is the demand for cell-based therapies and gene therapies in various applications, including cancer treatment. Techniques such as CAR-T cell therapy require extremely precise isolation of certain immune cells (T-cells) from a patient's blood sample for engineering and expansion for treatment of cancer and other diseases. The success and approval of this and related types of therapy, including the FDA's recent approval of the first cellular therapy for melanoma, is indicative of a shift towards this form of targeted therapy. This new era of targeted therapy will require the development of methods that can purify the cells of interest in a strong and efficient manner. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies constitute the leading end-user market share which is mainly led by high end isolation systems, often accounting for over half of the total revenue.

• Surging Global Funding for Life Sciences Research

Government and private sector funding in the field of biomedical research globally is a primary and direct driver of the market for advanced cell isolation technologies in academic and research laboratory settings. National governments and agencies such as the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) are constantly increasing grants for stem cell research, cancer and immunology. National programs, such as one with a greater than $100 million budget in support of commercialization of stem cell based technologies to produce new therapies, also may increase demand for cell separation products. Conversely, academic and research laboratories account for more than 40% of global end users for cell separation products, which is also driving the global market. This is largely attributed to the repeated use of consumables (reagents and kits) and as a result is a key economic driver.

• Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases and Personalized Medicine

In vivo diagnostic and research tools for diagnostic cell isolation are becoming important due to the high and increasing prevalence of chronic disease worldwide, and the increasing focus on personalized medicine. Many common diseases such as cancer, diabetes and autoimmune diseases account for most of the healthcare costs in the leading developed economies. The isolation and subsequent analysis of rare cell populations such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) or specific immune cell populations are at the forefront of personalized medicine. Isolated, rare populations have potential for targeted therapy and disease monitoring. Isolation of such cells is difficult, but necessary to elucidate their role in disease and to develop treatments for patients; therefore, the development of separation methods is an active area of research, and cell isolation represents an important step in modern diagnostics, particularly in the transition from to personalized medicine.

Key Trends in the Cell Isolation Market Market

• Miniaturization and Automation via Microfluidics

An emerging trend has been the development of miniaturized and highly automated cell isolation technologies based on microfluidics or lab-on-a-chip technologies. This involves the manipulation and separation of small volumes of biological samples using microfluidics or microchannels. Potential advantages include reduced sample and reagent costs, increased accuracy, and reduced damage to cells. Another more concrete example of this is microfluidic devices which isolate rare cells in pure form with high-efficiency, such as CTCs in blood, using acoustic waves or dielectrophoresis. This is one of the fastest growing categories of lab-on-chip based technology, with studies projecting growth rates above 15%, only matching those of other such huge disruptive technologies. The combination of walk-away operation plus highly reproducible performance has made automated platforms very attractive to both clinical diagnostics and high-throughput drug screening laboratories.

• Label-Free and Marker-Independent Separation Techniques

A major trend in cell sorting is towards label-free techniques which do not require fluorescent or magnetic beads or antibodies to be bound to the cells which may affect the viability, functionality or introduce some bias towards certain regions of interest in the population. Label-free methods that exploit cell sizes, densities, or electric charges are starting to be developed. One example is acoustic separation. In advanced acoustophoresis systems, acoustic behavior is exploited to separate microscopic cells flowing in a liquid medium. The cells pass through acoustically focused sound waves. This is particularly useful at very low flow speeds, e.g. isolating fragile or precious primary cells for transplantation or cellular therapy manufacture where cell viability and function are important parameters of interest. In the field of therapeutic manufacture, this has the potential to simplify and de-risk the complex workflow associated with processing cells.

• Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Sorting Optimization

An emerging strategy in the optimization of cell sorters is the incorporation of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) algorithms into the advanced cell sorter. Conventional cell sorting methods require multiple rounds of expert manual tuning and parameter optimization, which is subjective and tedious. Modern instrumentation is also beginning to use artificial intelligence (AI) software that adjusts sorting parameters automatically and in real time, based on real-time data coming from the cells being analyzed. Most modern next-generation spectral flow cytometers now have AI-based spectral unmixing algorithms to analyze very complex multi-parameter experiments with many dozens of different fluorescent markers that would be almost impossible to analyze manually. This gives a higher level of purity, lower levels of contamination, and better reproducibility, properties particularly important for cell populations that are intended to be used in a clinical setting.
