Wood is an important part of building material. Wood preservation chemicals ensure the longer life of wood by keeping it safe from the attack of any insects, fungus or bacteria. Such preservation can be done by several treatments and chemicals. Wood preservative chemicals market is growing with a significant growth rate due to the increased use of wood in the households and industrial sector. Wood has several indoor and outdoor applications. In the recent year, the commercial uses include decking; railroad products and fencing represent the major end-use application for wood preservative chemicals globally. The demand for wood preservative chemicals from the landscape-products end-use segment is projected to increase in the future years.

Feminine hygiene is a term used for explanation of personal care products which are used by women during menstrual discharge, menstruation and other body functions related to the vulva. Some of the major feminine hygiene products are sanitary pads, menstrual cups, tampons, internal cleansers, pant liners and shields. Sanitary pad is most commonly used feminine hygiene products for menstrual management. It is available in many varieties with different absorbency levels and sizes. A menstrual cup is shaped like a cup and worn inside the vagina to collect menstrual fluid during menstruation discharge.

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death across the globe. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test which records the electrical activity of the heart on the graph paper. ECG device detects and select electrical impulses generated by the polarization and depolarization of cardiac tissue and translate them into waveform. The ECG has 12-lead, out of which six electrodes are on the chest and one on each limb. ECG device helps cardiologists and physicians to diagnose cardiac abnormalities such as congenital heart defect, abnormal heart rhythm, poor blood supply to heart arteries, inflammation of the heart and enlargement of the heart. ECG is the first test done to check a person suffering from heart disease.

Diabetes is the chronic condition associated with abnormally high level of glucose in the blood. Insufficient or non production of insulin in pancreas causes diabetes. Globally the incidence of diabetes is increasing significantly and it is becoming a major burden. It is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. It is diagnosed by blood glucose testing. Early detection through regular monitoring can improve the treatment and control of the disease. Glucose testing is to measure amount of in a sample of blood. Deviation in blood glucose level from the normal range results in disorders such as hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. There are various types of glucose tests such as fasting blood sugar, random blood sugar, two hour postprandial blood sugar, glycohemoglobin A1c and oral glucose tolerance test. Glucose testing is done to monitor treatment of diabetes, check for diabetes and pre diabetes and to determine abnormally low blood glucose level.

Super absorbent polymers (SAPs) are material that can absorb and retain large amount of liquid compared to their own mass. Super absorbent polymers can absorb 500 times more liquid than its own weight (30-60 times more than its own volume). Super absorbent polymers are cross-linked acrylic homo polymers which absorb aqueous solutions through hydrogen bonding with water molecules. Total absorbing and swelling capacity of super absorbent polymers depends on the type and degree of cross-linkers used to make the gel used in the product manufacturing. Lower density cross-linked polymers can absorb large amount of liquid within it also can swell to a large extent compared to high dense polymers.

Molecular diagnostics refers to a technique used to detect and identify the presence of genetic material or proteins associated with a specific health condition or disease. Viral molecular diagnostic helps in diagnosis of infectious diseases caused by virus. Viral molecular diagnostics has varied applications in hospitals, academics institutions, laboratories and others. On the basis of application, viral molecular diagnostics can be segmented into infectious diseases, genetics, blood screening, microbiology and others. On the basis of infectious diseases, viral molecular diagnostics market can be segmented into hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) human papillomavirus (HPV) and others. On the basis of technology, viral molecular diagnostics market can be segmented into polymerase chain reaction (PCR), isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology (INAAT), microarrays, in situ hybridization and others.

Cell separation technologies are used to separate cells from group of various cells. The separations of cells are based on their physical properties such as shape, size and protein expression. Cell separation techniques play a vital role in the treatment of chronic diseases, such as AIDS and cancer. In addition, it is widely used in stem cell research and cancer research.

Chocolate is a sweet food or food ingredient sourced mainly from, cocoa beans. Some of the other ingredients of chocolate include sugar, emulsifiers such as lecithin, and additional flavors enhancer such as vanilla. It is commonly found in the form of a liquid, paste, powder or in blocks. Apart from the sweet taste chocolate contains antioxidants and minerals, which offers health benefits such as reduce risk associated with heart attacks and cancer.

Haemoglobin is the red protein in blood cells which carry oxygen around the body. Haemoglobin A1c is a chemical form of glycated haemoglobin in order to test glucose level in the patients. Glycated haemoglobin test is used for diagnosis and monitoring of Haemoglobin A1c levels in diabetic patient. Glycated haemoglobin test reflects the average amount of glucose for the past 2 to 3 months in diabetic patients. It helps to determine the how well the level of glucose is controlled over time.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon having cylindrical nanostructure. Carbon Nanotube is a tube-shaped material made up of carbon molecule, having a diameter of approximately nanometer (one-billionth of a meter or one ten-thousandth of the thickness of a human hair). Carbon nanotubes has many different structure, depending on length, thickness and type of helicity (projection of the spin on direction of momentum), and number of layers. All the carbon nanotubes are made up of similar graphite sheet. However, electrical characteristic of the carbon nanotubes (acting as metals or semiconductor) depends on the structure it exhibits.
