Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the sterility testing market. Sterility testing is designed to demonstrate the presence or absence of extraneous viable contaminating microorganisms in biological parenterals designed for human use. ... The sterility assay is 14 days allowing for an appropriate incubation period to detect slower-growing microorganisms.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the sputter coater market. Sputter coating in scanning electron microscopy is a sputter deposition process to cover a specimen with a thin layer of conducting material, typically a metal, such as a gold/palladium (Au/Pd) alloy.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the spray adhesives market. Spray adhesive may be used during scrapbooking. Spray adhesive is an adherent delivered in droplet form. There are many kinds, to meet the needs of many different applications. It can often be substituted for white glue, hot glue, tape, and other adhesives, as long as the materials to be bonded are taken into account.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the specialty tapes market. Specialty tapes have application-specific designs that enhance particular capabilities of the adhesive tape. This can include abrasion and chemical resistance, the adhesion properties, or any other features not commonly available in general varieties of adhesive tape.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the space propulsion market. Spacecraft propulsion is any method used to accelerate spacecraft and artificial satellites. In-space propulsion exclusively deals with propulsion systems used in the vacuum of space and should not be confused with space launch or atmospheric entry.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the space mining market. Space mining the activities relating to extracting minerals and metals from asteroids, comets or other heavenly bodies in space. Space mining can replenish the depleted minerals and metals on earth.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the soundproof curtains market. Soundproof curtains work just like the clothes in the closet in the example. They don't actually quiet the volume of the sound source, but they make the sound die out much more quickly within the room. This makes the room more pleasing from a sound standpoint.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the sonar system market. A system using transmitted and reflected underwater sound waves to detect and locate submerged objects or measure the distance to the floor of a body of water.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the solvents market. A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid, a gas, or a supercritical fluid.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the soil monitoring market. Soil monitoring is very important for sustaining soil quality. It involves analyzing the soil through soil tests and field obser-vations, and seeing how the soil changes after intervention. Once an intervention plan is implemented, it is necessary to monitor the change in the soil by measuring indicators. This requires seasonal/yearly sampling of soil and analyzing the parameters.
