In 2019, the agarose gel electrophoresis segment dominated the market in terms of adoption. This gel system has the highest adoption in academic and research institutes which are the largest end user segment of this market. Agarose gel electrophoresis are widely adopted for separating DNA and RNA molecules, along with advantages such as easy gel preparation, ease of handling and controlling pore size. It also is widely adopted in forensics & DNA fingerprinting and screening protein anomalies in clinical laboratories. As opposed to PAGE, their global adoption for the growing genomic research sector is expected to further aid its growth.
