Waters Corporation has introduced OligoWorks SPE (solid-phase extraction) kits and components in October 2023 to enhance the preparation of samples for LC-MS-based bioanalytical quantitation of therapeutic oligonucleotides. The oligonucleotide recovery from biofluids can now be enhanced by up to a twofold over competing products for pharma and biopharma companies that are developing oligonucleotide therapeutics, as well as the Contract Research Organizations (CROs) that support them. The packages provide increased LC-MS sensitivity and reproducibility, which reduces the necessity for repeat experiments and enables lower limits of quantitation. The pipeline for oligonucleotide therapeutics is expanding at a rapid pace, with 13 FDA-approved oligonucleotide therapeutics currently in circulation and over 500 more in the pipeline. Although efficacious, these highly modified oligonucleotides are difficult to precisely quantify during dosing, metabolism, and tissue distribution studies. OligoWorks SPE kits also employ an innovative, enzyme-enhanced, and detergent-free sample pretreatment that enables direct injection LC-MS analysis and lower limits of quantitation. This pretreatment reduces the number of rinsing steps and enhances mass spectrometer compatibility. Additionally, they can be entirely automated to enhance productivity or to assist scientists in reclaiming time by minimizing manual steps and oversight.

In an endeavor to assist in the detection and management of the COVID-19 pandemic, PHASE Scientific has announced the worldwide commercial launch of the PHASIFY VIRAL RNA Extraction Kit in October 2020. PHASIFY VIRAL concentrates and purifies viral RNA from patient viral transport media samples. Conventional solid phase extraction methods are outperformed by this innovative technology in terms of RNA yield and concentration. The performance limitations of conventional solid phase extraction technologies lead to substandard sample quality. SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations in patients' samples, particularly those from the early stages, are comparatively low, resulting in low PCR detection sensitivity, high false negative rates, and the need for repeated confirmation testing. PHASIFY enhances the detection of target molecules by concentrating them by 10-100 times. PHASIFY has the potential to enhance the affordability, efficiency, ease of use, and precision of any diagnostic test.

Solid Phase Extraction Market Trends

Growth in generics industry is driving the market growth

As a result of increased demand for drug development, the market for solid phase extraction equipment has expanded. As the generics sector is expected to account for more than 80% of the pharmaceutical market in the future years, the demand for SPE is projected to increase. For instance, Invest India (India) reports that generic drugs make up 71% of the Indian pharmaceutical business. The EU intends to establish laws that will significantly lower barriers for less priced biosimilars to enter the market, reducing the probability of future drug shortages, as was the case during the COVID-19 epidemic. According to Statista (Germany), over 65% of medications sold in European countries like Italy are generic.

The rising use of SPE consumables in the pharmaceutical industry is largely responsible for this market's growth. The growing demand for high-throughput sample analysis needs, LC-MS-MS techniques, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has led to a need for the SPE consumable in the pharmaceutical business. The rise in R&D spending in the medical industry has increased demand for SPE consumables. An further factor driving the growth of this market is the ongoing automation of the SPE processes that are replacing the older manual SPEs. Automated SPE has several benefits over manual SPE using a vacuum manifold, including increased laboratory productivity and a reduction in time and solvent use. These elements encourage market growth.

Furthermore, precision is quite important in the analysis. The necessity for automatic SPE is exacerbated by the manual SPE's variable precision from operator to operator, batch to batch, and sample to sample. However, issues with users' sample handling pose a significant barrier to the market's growth. The hefty initial setup expenses in addition to a workforce that lacks the requisite skills significantly restrict market expansion. However, ongoing advancements in SPE methods that have given rise to a new generation of SPE technologies are creating new chances for business growth. The SPE consumable business has a chance as research study funding from numerous organisations rises. For instance, in March 2018, the German Research Foundation gave four new sequencing sites in Germany more than USD 17 million.

Numerous technological developments have been made in the solid phase extraction (SPE) market in order to satisfy the requirements of the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries, as well as the food and beverage, chemical, semiconductor, and environmental testing sectors. These developments have made it possible to build compact, automated, and computerised devices. SPE gadgets are now easier to use and more practical thanks to technical improvements. Rising automation and technology development are anticipated to drive market expansion. For instance, in May 2019, Biotage (Sweden) unveiled its series of Atlantic ReadyDisk SPE discs. The ready-to-use SPE discs in this line save time by not requiring disc holders to be cleaned. The Strata-X-Drug B Plus SPE product for urine drug testing in forensic and clinical drug testing was made available by Phenomenex Inc. (US) in May 2018.

Thermo Scientific Dionex Auto Trace 280 PFAS SPE equipment, a fully automated SPE device for drinking water analysis, was also unveiled by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (US) in March 2020. The OttoTM SPEcialist Positive Pressure Manifold, which tackles a weakness in current SPE devices by boosting dependability and reproducibility of results, was introduced by Waters Corp (US) in January 2021. Therefore, such product introductions and advancements are encouraging market expansion. Thus, driving the Solid Phase Extraction market revenue.
