MarketResearch.com has announced the addition of Kalorama Information’s new report "Swine Influenza Market Alert (Latest Data, Company Profiles, Implications for Immunoassays and Molecular Assays)," to their collection of Healthcare market reports.

The outbreak of swine flu is highlighting the public health importance of improved testing techniques and providing market opportunities for manufacturers of diagnostic tests and other products related to the disease. These conclusions and others appear in a new report released from Kalorama Information: "Swine Flu Market Alert" by Kalorama’s lead analyst, Shara Rosen.

Regardless of the eventual severity of the epidemic, there will be distinct market impact on both immunoassay and molecular test makers, according to the report. The makers of certain tests will benefit both in terms of sales and more broadly in recognition that their products play a vital role in making the public health community significantly better prepared for this possible pandemic than 1968 or before.
