Blood culture is a laboratory test which is performed with the help of blood taken from the patient and incubated into a blood culture media to determine the infection caused by which micro-organisms in the blood. This blood culture media contain growth medium to promote the growth of micro-organisms in culture. Moreover, this media consists of anticoagulants that prevent blood from clotting. Sodium polyanethol sulfonate (SPS) is most commonly used anti-coagulant and it does not affect the growth of most organisms.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
COVID-19 is an infectious disease that originated in Hubei province of the Wuhan city in China in late December. The highly contagious disease, caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is transmitted from human to human. Since the outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 213 countries around the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency on March 11, 2020.
At the early phase of COVID-19 pandemic, there was no availability of specific diagnostic tests to detect the disease in patients. Alternative diagnostic tests were used initially but were not much effective. This unavailability of specific COVID-19 diagnostic tests presented lucrative opportunities for diagnostic manufacturers to introduce their COVID-19 diagnostic kits. Many leading players as well as some start-ups from various countries utilized this opportunity and introduced COVID-19 diagnostics kits into local as well as global market. These players achieved edge over other diagnostics players capitalizing the opportunity from demand for COVID-19 diagnostic tests, which, in turn, helps them in maintaining their revenue in such a crisis.
Owing to such factors, COVID 19 is expected to have a significant impact on the blood culture media market.
