The Market Share of High-Voltage Power Supply Products in DNA Sequencers Continues to Grow

With the thriving development of biomedical testing technologies, DNA sequencers as core testing equipment also require higher and higher performance parameters. As the "heart" of DNA sequencers, the output characteristics of high-voltage power supplies directly affect the speed, precision and efficiency of DNA sequencing. In recent years, high-voltage power supply vendors have actively launched innovative solutions tailored to the power demands of DNA sequencers, helping optimize and upgrade the performance of DNA sequencing instruments, thereby steadily increasing the market share of high-voltage power supplies in the DNA sequencer market.

One of the key indicator requirements of DNA sequencers for high-voltage power supplies is output voltage precision. To achieve higher resolution gene mapping, the new generation of DNA sequencers requires the power supply voltage precision to be within 0.01%. The precision of previous power supply products was usually only 0.05%. To meet this challenge, high-voltage power supply vendors have developed power systems based on digital control and advanced feedback regulation technologies, greatly improving the stability of output voltage to fully adapt to the new DNA sequencer platforms.

In addition, with the increasing demand for sequencing throughput, the power output requirement of DNA sequencers is also growing rapidly. The latest high-throughput DNA sequencers require the high-voltage power supply to exceed 10 kilovolt-amperes. High-voltage power producers cater to this trend by upgrading the topological structure and key components of their products, enabling them to provide ultra-high power output that fully meets the needs of high-throughput DNA sequencing.

Safety and reliability are another key selection criterion for DNA sequencers regarding high-voltage power supplies. To prevent power failures from damaging the instruments, vendors employ redundant circuit design concepts in power product development. They also strengthen the insulation design and provide comprehensive safety protection mechanisms, greatly reducing the failure rate of power supplies during long-term operation and ensuring stable and reliable operation of DNA sequencers.

With continuous technological innovations in precision, power and reliability, high-voltage power supplies have gained relatively high customer recognition in the new generation DNA sequencer market, with several major manufacturers becoming core suppliers of globally renowned DNA sequencing system vendors. According to relevant estimates, the overall market share of high-voltage power supply products in the DNA sequencer market has grown from about 8% in 2015 to over 15% in 2020, maintaining a rapid upward momentum. 

Industry analysts believe that with the continuous expansion of biomedical testing demand, the future DNA sequencer market has huge potential. As a key component, the industrial scale of high-voltage power will usher in a new high-speed growth cycle. High-voltage power enterprises should seize this development opportunity and continue to increase R&D investment in product performance, reliability and other aspects to better meet the supply needs of DNA sequencer upgrades and iterations, thereby achieving sustained leading development of their companies.
