Western blotting is a technique used in cell and molecular biology that helps to detect and analyze a specific protein molecule from a mixture of proteins. It is done by using specific antibodies. Western blotting technique is used by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, diagnostic laboratories, research institutes and others. In western blotting technique, a mixture of proteins is separated based on molecular weight and type, using gel electrophoresis. Western blotting technique involves three steps including gel electrophoresis, membrane transfer and blocking. After separation of proteins by size and transfer to a solid support, the target protein is marked by using a proper primary and secondary antibody for visualization. Western blotting is also known as immunoblotting due to the use of antibody to detect its antigen. Western blotting is used in various applications including diseases diagnosis, agriculture, biochemical, biomedical research and others.

Healthcare information technology (IT) is a vast field that involves the use of information technology for designing, creating, developing, using and maintaining information systems in the field of healthcare.

Digital pathology refers to the process of using computer technology to convert an analog microscopic image into a digital image. A digital pathology system is an image based healthcare information system which creates, manages, stores, shares, analyzes and interprets the digital image through glass slides by using computer technology. Digital pathology helps in accurate diagnosis by standardizing test interpretation and workflow. Digital pathology systems are used in hospitals, research institutions, medical universities and government organizations. The application based market of digital pathology includes human and animal pathology. Digital pathology systems can be integrated with laboratory information system that help to capture, store, manage, share and display patient's related information such as patient's case history, case reports and other related documents for the treatment of patients.

Advanced polymer composites (APCs) are high performance materials which are manufactured from continuous fibers using various processes such as resin infusion, pultrusion and filament winding. The fibers used in production of APCs are aramid, carbon fibers, S2-glass and E-glass. In addition to these fibers, four types of resins are used as a matrix in quantity; epoxy, vinylester, phenolic and polyester. APCs are used in aerospace, automotives, residential and infrastructure, marine, sport goods and mass transportation among others.

Environmental, Health, and Safety guidelines (EHS) are used by companies which believe in having safe working environments for their employees.

Chromium is a lustrous steel-colored brittle but hard chemical. It exhibits high gloss, high melting point, excellent resistance to corrosion and is highly resistant to tarnishing. Chromium can combine with other metals to form a number of metal compounds. For instance, ferrochromium and chromium metal are produced by the aluminothermic or silicothermic reactions. Chromium is used in a wide range of applications including metallurgy, dye and pigment, wood preservation, tanning, refractory material, catalysts and magnets among others. Majority of chromium is converted into ferrochromium alloys, due to its high demand in stainless steel and alloy industries.

Calcium is one of the most abundantly available elements and is commonly in sedimentary rocks such as gypsum, dolomite and calcite. Calcium can also occur in igneous and metamorphic rocks, especially in silicate minerals including garnets, plagioclases, pyroxenes, and amphiboles. Calcium is an essential metal for various physiological processes in humans as well as in other organisms. Toxicity of calcium and most of its compounds is low. It is a fairly reactive metal and reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide and generate hydrogen.

Antimony trioxide is the one of the major compounds of antimony. Antimony oxide is mainly produced by two ways either by oxidation of antimony or by the process of re-volatilizing of crude antimony trioxide. The method of production is mainly dependent on the composition of ores. Antimony trioxide has the ability to react both as acid as well as base making it suitable in various end user applications. Antimony trioxide reacts with mineral acids to give the corresponding salts. The major applications of antimony trioxide include flame retardants, polymerization catalyst in manufacturing of PET, as an additive in brake linings of automobiles and to certain extent as a coating for certain grades in titanium dioxide pigments. The flame retardant application of antimony trioxide is expected to dominate the market for antimony trioxide. Countries such as China, Russia, South Africa and Kyrgyzstan are the major producers for antimony trioxide. The major consumers for antimony trioxide are developed regions especially Europe and the U.S. With growth in flame retardant market across the globe the market for antimony trioxide also expects a positive trend in next few years.
