Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is an engineering polymer which is thermoplastic in nature and is used in electronics and electrical industriesas an insulator. It is a type of polyester and a thermoplastic (semi-crystalline polymer). PBT is solvent resistant, is mechanically strong, slightly shrinks during forming and is heat-resistant up to a temperature of 150 °C (or 200 °C with glass-fiber strengthening). It can be made noncombustible when treated with flame retardants.Polybutylene terephthalate is related closely to different thermoplastic polyesters. Polybutylene terephthalate has slightly lower rigidity and strength as compared to polyethylene terephthalate (PET), better contact resistance, and a lower glass shift temperature. Polybutylene terephthalate and polyethylene terephthalateare sensitive to warm water above the temperature of 60 °C (140 °F).

Pyrethrin is an organic compound that is commonly used as an insecticide and is derived from dried chrysanthemum cinerariae folium flowers commonly known as pyrethrum daisy. Pyrethrin primarily target the nervous system of the insects. Pyrethrin is made by industrial methods synthetically and may also occur naturally in chrysanthemum flowers. It is often considered as an organic insecticide as it occurs naturally in nature. These insecticides have minimum impact on human health and are biodegradable in nature. It is one of the safest types of insecticide that is currently used globally. This is why pyrethrin is replacing conventional insecticides such as organo chlorides and organophosphates in the global insecticide market. The global market for pyrethrin is segmented on the basis of product type, pest type, application, and geography. On the basis of product type, the market is segregated into pyrethrin I and pyrethrin II. Pyrethrin I held the dominant market share in 2015 owing to the large number of chemical segregations that is included in this type of pyrethrin.

Biobank is referred as a repository or library that stores biological samples which are intended for research purpose. Biobanks play a pivotal role in biomedical research and stores wide array of biospecimens that include purified saliva, blood, plasma, DNA samples. Biobanks provide data that represent large number of individuals samples used by researchers for multiple purposes (disease identification, genetic trait identification and others). Biobanks help in identifying biomarkers of diseases related to single nucleotide polymorphism and others. The samples in biobanks are categorized on the basis of genetic trait such as age, gender, ethinicity and blood type. Furthermore, samples are also categorized on the basis of environmental factors such as climatic conditions where the donor has been exposed or some other condition that can affect human genes. Biobanks are of three type's namely virtual biobanks, tissue banks and population banks which are classified on the basis of purpose or design.

Fermenters are used for a variety of fermentation processes performed for pharmaceuticals drug manufacturing. The fermentation process includes the growth of bacteria and production of drugs under tight regulations such as aeration rate, dosage of nutrients and temperature control.

The cast removal devices are instruments used for cutting casting material such as orthopedic plaster. These devices possess properties such as high cutting torque and low material speed. The devices are further classified in three categories in accordance to their method of application for cutting such as hand handled device, advanced device and bottom edge device. The hand handled devices cut the orthopedic casts without noise with a few or no debris generation however advanced devices maintain the velocity of the equipment throughout the cast. The bottom edge devices are designed to cut the cast from the bottom of the cast to reduce the risk to skin cutting.

The global hemostasis diagnostics market is primarily driven by the ever-increasing disease burden of blood clotting disorders. Hemophilia, vitamin k deficiency, and disseminated intravascular coagulation are some of the factors responsible for blood clotting disorders that not only requires relevant treatment, but also timely and affordable diagnosis. As per statistics presented by the World Health Organization, an estimated 400, 000 people worldwide suffer from hemophilia, of which 56% remain undiagnosed. This will stoke growth of the hemostasis diagnostics market.

Immunoglobulin's also called as antibodies are large Y-shaped protein produced by B-cell.  These are the glycoprotein molecule produced by plasma cells in response to entry of foreign entity such as bacteria and viruses in the body. Production of antibodies is an important function of immune system. Antibodies use binding mechanism for neutralizing the activity of a foreign particle called as an antigen. These are made up of basic structural unit's namely heavy chains and light chains. In mammals five different types of antibodies (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM) are present which perform different role in response to the type of foreign antibody encountered. Occurrences of situations where people are born with low or no level of immunoglobulin, or with an immune system that does not function properly are very common. In such condition fighting with germs and other infections become extremely difficult. Therefore, immunoglobulin therapy plays an important role for compensating the insufficient quantity of immunoglobulin in the body.

Transfemoral compression devices have been in the market for quite a while. These devices are not regularly used due to high cost as compared to manual compression. The most common access site used for angiography is the femoral artery. After the procedure, the closure of site is usually done by manual compression. These devices have been used in practice to improve the efficiency and safety of such procedures. Increased efficacy in comparison with manual compression has been observed. The first method used for closing the holes in the femoral artery was the use of manual compression. As the holes got bigger, constraints on physicians increased due to rising complications. The increase in complication has resulted in technological innovation and led to the use of transfemoral approach.

Endometriosis is a medical condition in which the tissue that forms normal lining of uterus appears outside the uterus cavity and may involve ovaries, bowel, or tissue lining of the pelvic floor. This disease affects over 170 million women across the globe. Endometriosis has an unclear etiology and complex symptoms. Hence, the endometriosis treatment market is projected to grow substantially due to increase in number of cases for endometriosis and advancements in treatment technologies. Moreover, growing awareness about endometriosis treatment among women, rising demand for treatment, increasing incidence of endometriosis, and improvement in its diagnosis methods have strengthened the endometriosis treatment market.

Viable tumor cells are widely used by scientists for in vitro studies about the genetic origins, molecular pathways of diseases such as cancer. The viable tumor samples are good examples of whole processed tissues which are widely used in basic oncology disease research as well as drug development. Studies on immune disorders are done only with viable tumor samples as these have unique characteristics such as these proliferate indefinitely when cultured (HeLa cell lines), no contact inhibition, abnormal karyotype, and simple media requirement. Viable tumor samples have limitless applications in research especially for autoimmune disorder and oncology research to detect cell markers, efficacy testing of drugs, and in providing insights into the physiological mechanisms of diseases.
