The latest coronavirus disease outbreak, which was initially found in China in December 2019, is still affecting people worldwide. COVID-19 — the disease induced by an infection — requires prompt and ...

Real-time PCR enables faster Mycoplasma detection to meet rigorous cell therapy safety standards and reduce quality ...

PCR-based bacterial and fungal detection helps scientists efficiently analyze the sterility of their cell cultures, improving Mycoplasma testing and beyond. Scientists turn to PCR-based methods that ...

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — COVID-19 cases are on an increasingly downward trend in Virginia now that almost 45% of people in the Commonwealth are fully vaccinated. Since yesterday there have only been 186 ...

Molecular tests are far superior to rapid antigen tests—and now you can get them for home use. Last week, I was about to go on a date, and because I'm severely immunocompromised, we agreed he would ...

Tufts University is switching to a pooled COVID-19 testing procedure for the 2021–22 academic year; pooled testing processes up to 10 samples at once, performing the same polymerase chain reaction ...

COVID-19 is commonly diagnosed by quantitative fluorescence real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) (1, 2). The test is the sequential action of two enzymes–an ...

The addition of a simple processing step to saliva samples before testing may improve COVID-19 detection rate, eliminate the challenges of nasopharyngeal testing, and facilitate mass surveillance, ...
