The transmission of viruses through biological materials is of great concern to many researchers and managers of lab animal facilities. There is ample documentation 1 for the confounding effects of ...

Researchers have built an RT-PCR platform that gives results in 23 minutes that match the longer laboratory-based tests -- faster than other PCR tests on the market. It can be adapted to test for a ...

If a laboratory technique is around long enough, it can start to seem like a comfortable piece of furniture. That’s the case for PCR, a technique so venerable that even its descendants, digital PCR ...

HERCULES, Calif. -- March 14, 2017 -- Twenty-one independent laboratories quantified a rare single nucleotide variant using digital PCR (dPCR) with high reproducibility between labs, demonstrating the ...

With laboratory methods and diagnostics advancing apace, Francesca Lake considers whether PCR is likely to retain its crown as an essential lab method, or whether it could be replaced and consigned to ...

If you had COVID-19 symptoms in 2020, you probably would have masked up and braved a visit to a laboratory, doctor’s office, or clinic to get a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. A health care ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology-based testing method has been widely recognized as the golden standard for detecting infectious agents. Real‐time monitoring of PCR has further simplified ...

The COVID-19 pandemic yielded important advances in testing for respiratory viruses, but it also exposed important unmet needs in screening to prevent the spread of infections in high-risk settings.

After a microbiology-filled academic and research career, Diana Patzelt became the Global Project Manager for Microbial Enumeration Products at Sartorius (Göttingen, Germany), earning her the title of ...

The newly certified Polymerase Chain Reaction Laboratory (PCR) built and equipped by the Akwa Ibom State government has commenced the testing of COVID-19 samples. The PCR lab approved last week by the ...

New York, NY—July 25, 2022—For more than 30 years, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been the gold standard in molecular diagnostic testing, detecting genetic material, such as those from a virus or ...
