It creates an inordinately huge opportunity to transact i.e., buy, sell, lease, market, and procure diagnostic products and service information on any internet device, such as the computer (web-based) or mobile (mCommerce). Pharmaceuticals, biotech, manufacturing companies, contract research organizations, hospitals, clinics, laboratories, universities, government, and consumers can use these technology platforms to access the global ecosystem.
