Approached the United Kingdom have innovation advantage of in vitro diagnostic and imaging industry

It is estimated that global diagnostic products market size in about 190 million pounds, and the United Kingdom diagnostic products market size at around 5 million pounds, the impressive scale of export.

In digital imaging, ultrasound imaging, molecular imaging, United Kingdom research institutions and companies are quite innovative. Development of in vitro diagnostics: new, compact the current pace of United Kingdom there are hundreds of diagnostic products manufacturing companies. However, the scale of these enterprises often limited, an annual turnover of mostly less than 100 m, and concentrated in Oxford, Cambridge and Scotland, has a strong foundation for scientific research and related industries. Diagnostic products is the main export markets of Brazil and India. United Kingdom universities in diagnostics research areas to maintain leading-edge standards. For example, University College London are using holographic smart chip biosensor research work. They developed a battery-powered portable compact instrument that can be used on players ' muscle oxygenation conditions for non-invasive tracking. Volodymyr Rick University are developing for in vivo detection of ATP and ATP biosensor. London met scientists in recent years initiated the development of an optical sensor to assist on blood glucose monitoring the implementation of non-invasive. Northeastern University is composed of Union was a major EU-funded, and the Center for biological science Europe Helena joint development of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) for fast and non-invasive detection of the method. Nottingham nosocomial infection Medical Center and the national health service system established close ties with research on a range of new diagnostic techniques to better diagnosis of Clostridium difficile, Escherichia coli and resistant Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) caused by infectious diseases. In addition, in the diagnosis of United Kingdom in the field of related business companies or institutions are devoted to the diagnosis of hologram technology product development of Smart Holograms company, focusing on development of cardiovascular disease family detection and bedside testing product Innovations company of Stirling Medical, diagnostic reagents and diagnostic equipment manufacturer Randox Laboratories Ltd., specialized in development and production for a variety of infectious diseases, immunological diagnosis of Newmarket Laboratories Ltd products, developed a rapid detection of drug-resistant Methicillin-resistant grape ball system 3 medical company, and nutrition, medical equipment and diagnostic products manufacturer Abbott companies. Concern is that in recent years, the United Kingdom exploration science company developed a technique called "micro-eye (microeye)" after disinfection of disposable blood sampling tool. Allegedly, micro eye up to intravenous use 48 hours. In the eyes and the probe attached sensor can get patients blood biochemical or response to drugs for the treatment of information, thus to improve clinical outcomes provide critical real-time information. Imaging areas: conservation innovation strengths in imaging technologies, United Kingdom universities have innovation advantage. Of these, London University established a medical imaging Centre, physicists, computer scientists and mathematicians formed team at the Centre for Imaging. In the past 28 years, the University of Aberdeen has been carried out with the whole body imaging technology of pioneering work. Currently, the University is fast onsite circulation on the basis of magnetic resonance imaging, the revolutionary new scanner. 3 years ago established Scotland Imaging Network, achieving excellence in science and technology achievements in technology platform SINAPSE from 6 universities, University of Aberdeen is one of them. The network is committed to research and development in Scotland build neural imaging technology infrastructure. But researchers at the University of Cambridge is committed to having a three-dimensional drawing instruments applied to clinical ultrasound. This research for breast surgery and radiation therapy. 1970s, magnetic resonance imaging of the early pioneering research at the University of Nottingham to base camp. The University took this advantage and continued until today. Researchers developed could be included in the advanced scanner new RF and gradient coils, and how to apply research findings in embryonic development and Clinical Neurology. Get involved in this area is also known as optical technology company, owner of KeyMed light analysis subepidermal skin structure 2 mm deep technology Astron Clinica company, retinal imaging equipment manufacturing enterprises Optos Plc companies.
