A study conducted by RCSI has demonstrated that a PCR test using saliva to test for COVID-19 is almost as accurate as the standard nose and throat swab. The saliva screening represents a less invasive ...

A digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) technique for screening malaria parasite genomes will help identify when they have mutations that allow them to dodge detection by some rapid tests, shows a ...

LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The GSD NovaPrime® SARS-CoV-2 Direct RT-PCR is intended for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 from human nasopharyngeal swabs, eluted directly into deionised water ...

A team of UK-based scientists has recently developed an allele-specific probe polymerase chain reaction method that can accurately detect different variants/lineages of severe acute respiratory ...

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.

Currently established rapid methods for sterility testing of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are mostly based on growth-based processes or the detection of metabolic activities. However, ...

Northwestern scientists have created the fastest-ever hepatitis C diagnostic, delivering accurate results in only 15 minutes. The test uses the DASH rapid PCR system, originally developed for COVID, ...
