Cell dissociation refers to the process of breaking down a cell culture to isolate a small group of cells or single individual cells. It relies on a wide variety of dissociation reagents, such as trypsin and collagenase, which are enzymes and digest pieces of tissue to release the target cells. It is also promoted by utilizing chemicals, such as ethylenediamine tetraacetic (EDTA) solutions, ethylene glycol-bis(β-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), and egtazic acid, which does not alter the surface of the cells and provides safe and gentle application. Cell dissociation is often performed by mechanical methods and involve breaking down of tissues with physical forces, such as cutting, crushing, and scrapping, to isolate individual cells. It is used with a specialized device wherein cell cultures are transferred into a single-cell suspension medium, followed by detaching cells from the host tissue and further isolating them from various residual substances or debris. Furthermore, as cell dissociation enables researchers to target and isolate a wide variety of cells, its demand is increasing around the world.
Cell Dissociation Market Trends:
Growing Demand for Cell-Based Research and Therapies
One of the critical trends shaping the global market include heightening emphasis on cell-based research and regenerative medicine. As advancements in stem cell therapies and tissue engineering propel, there is an intensifying demand for effective cell dissociation solutions to isolate and culture cells. Moreover, this demand is particularly dominant in personalized medicine and drug discovery, where the dissociation of primary cells is crucial. Moreover, increasing government and private sector funding for cell-based research, including stem cell and tumor cell studies, is driving the demand for efficient dissociation products in both clinical and laboratory settings, thereby fueling cell dissociation market growth. For instance, in May 2023, StemCures, a major U.S.-based medical clinic, announced a substantial investment of USD 54 million for the development of India's largest stem cell manufacturing laboratory, which is expected to bolster stem cell research in the country.
Technological Innovations in Enzymatic and Non-Enzymatic Solutions
Ongoing technological advancements are transforming the cell dissociation market, especially through the development of improved enzymatic and non-enzymatic dissociation solutions. Such advanced products provide more accurate, gentle, and effective cell separation methods, reducing damage to cells and improving viability for downstream applications. Furthermore, non-enzymatic solutions, such as mechanical or chemical techniques, are rapidly being preferred in research to avoid the negative impact of enzymes on sensitive cell types. For instance, in February 2023, researchers at the University of Alabama developed an innovative method to fix cells prior to their dissociation, eliminating the need for enzymatic treatment by using vivoPHIX, a deep eutectic solvent (DES). This solvent quickly fixes the cells, facilitating biomolecule stabilization and enabling single-cell dissociation. In addition, continuous advancements in this area facilitates better dependability and consistency, bolstering the expansion of cell dissociation market share as such techniques are adopted across numerous life sciences segments.
Increasing Applications in Cancer Research
The utilization of cell dissociation products is expanding rapidly in cancer research, as scientists require efficient methods to isolate tumor cells for study. The escalating prevalence of cancer globally further boosts the need for cell dissociation techniques, as more patients undergo research-based treatments and diagnostics. According to the WHO, by the year 2050, approximately 35 million new cancer cases are anticipated, with an estimated 142% increase in low human development index (HDI) countries and a 99% increase in medium HDI countries. Moreover, advances in immuno-oncology and the development of personalized cancer therapies are driving the need for better cell separation techniques, including those that can dissociate complex tumor microenvironments. Besides this, the increasing use of 3D cell culture and organoids in cancer research creates additional demand for reliable dissociation products. In addition, the growing focus on precision oncology and targeted therapies is expected to further accelerate the adoption of cell dissociation solutions in cancer-related studies.
