Even as COVID-19 continues its inexorable march, taking hundreds of thousands of lives and causing nearly 11 million cases, the diagnosis of the infection is still not sensitive or specific enough.
In a recent study published on the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers evaluate the feasibility and robustness of an optimized reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) ...
In brief: LAMP assays can be run under isothermal conditions at 65°C. Due to the short test runtime compared to classical PCR and the possibility of evaluation in a 384-well format on a plate reader, ...
The changing technology landscape will affect the BioWatch program. This chapter comments on additional assay performance considerations that arise from the use of multiplexed real-time polymerase ...
