Molecular diagnostics is defined as a class of diagnostic tests which identifies genetic and molecular biomarkers of an individual patient. It is essentially an analysis of RNA and DNA at the molecular level. This class of diagnostics tests is considered as the most well established and lucrative market in the clinical applications segment. Traditionally, usage of molecular diagnostics was limited due to requirement of highly skilled professionals and high cost of tests. However, recent reduction in cost per sample analysis, labor costs, improvements in automation and introduction of advanced technologies have expanded the usage of molecular diagnostics tests. The growth of this market is expected to surge due to various factors such as rise in incidence of hospital acquired infections, increase in patient awareness along with growing elderly population. Additionally, outbreak of diseases such as H1N1, growing incidence of diseases such as HIV and hepatitis have augmented the growth of this market.

Cartilage is a soft and rubbery material present in the bone joint and is involved in preventing friction between the bones by acting as a shock absorber in the joint. Damage to cartilage restricts the normal movement of knee causing pain and most often occurs after a traumatic and twisting injury to the knee. If left untreated, it may require knee replacement surgery. Knee cartilage repair has been beneficial for conditions such as mal-unions, delayed unions, and slow healing wounds. Advances in knee cartilage repair products have bolstered the growth of this industry.
