Weapons which are specifically designed and are anticipated to be less probable to kill a living object than conventional weapons are known as non-lethal weapons. In some cases, where the use of conventional weapons such as gun, sword, knife, pistol, and others are prohibited, these weapons prove as an effective alternative for restriction of casualties. Non-lethal weapons are used in critical situations such as self-defense, battle sensitive zones, riots, and others. Non-lethal weapons are also used to control the movement of civilian population, to limit civilian access to restricted areas, to protest violence by mob, and others. These are also called less-lethal, less-than-lethal weapons, non-deadly weapons, compliance weapons, or pain-inducing weapons. Non-lethal weapons are primarily used by military organizations, law enforcement agencies, and civilians for selfprotection. The use of non-lethal weapons enables users to protect themselves and control the critical situation without causing any fatal damage to the targeted person.

The non-invasive liquid biopsy technique uses samples such as stool, urine, saliva, and other samples, which are extracted without inserting any medical device into the patient’s body. These samples help healthcare professionals to identify biomarkers such as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating messenger RNA (mRNA), circulating microRNA (miRNA), DNA methylation-based biomarkers, exosomes, and extracellular vesicles (EVs). Extensive research is being conducted worldwide for the discovery and presence of novel biomarkers in these samples, which is expected to support the healthcare continuum to conduct liquid biopsy without penetrating any minimally invasive device into the patient’s body.

Vaccine is a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases. Vaccines stimulate the body’s own immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection or disease. Vaccines are prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease. The report provides market dynamics and trends related to the global novel vaccine delivery system market. The study estimates the revenue generated from the sales of novel vaccine delivery system products such as syringe, needle-free injection systems, and others.

Nucleic acid isolation and purification is the preliminary step in the field of molecular biology research accompanied with recombinant techniques. The nucleic acid isolation process majorly includes enzymatic digestion and mechanical and chemical disruption. On the other hand, purification consists of the combination of precipitation, chromatography, centrifugation, electrophoresis, and separation. The process of nucleic acid isolation aids sample processing by reducing the time, significantly minimizes nucleic acid loss, and enhances experimental process efficiency and effectiveness. The obtained purified product is further used in recombinant technology methods, thereby making it suitable for targeted purposes in the field of omics research. The advantages offered by nucleic acid isolation and purification significantly aid scientists and researchers to obtain high-quality starting material for conducting downstream applications, thereby generating accurate results.

An organ transplant is a surgical procedure to replace a healthy organ from a damaged organ. Organ transplant diagnostics are clinical diagnostic tools that help to improve the efficiency of transplantation procedures. HLA typing is of utmost importance in applications such as organ and blood stem cell transplantation. Organs that have been successfully transplanted include the kidneys, heart, liver, lungs, pancreas, and bone marrow transplants. The current study aims to assess the global organ transplant diagnostics market by focusing on products (kits, assays, and consumables) and services catering to end-users, including hospitals and transplants centers, academics and research centers, among others. The current market for organ transplant diagnostics is majorly dominated by manufacturers and service providers such as Abbott Laboratories, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., QIAGEN N.V., Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (One Lambda), bioMérieux S.A., Illumina, Inc., CareDx, Inc. and Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings.
