Over the past four years, many of us have become accustomed to a swab up the nose to test for COVID-19, using at-home rapid antigen tests or the more accurate clinic-provided PCR tests with a longer ...

Roche (SIX: RO, ROP; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced today that it developed a Research Use Only (RUO) molecular PCR test, via its subsidiary TIB MOLBIOL, for use on the LightCycler® 480 I & II Systems, ...

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.

Autonomous Medical Devices Incorporated (AMDI) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted both ...

The Democratic Republic of Congo has improved its capacity for PCR testing. But it may not be enough to keep up with a rapidly expanding outbreak, and there are no approved rapid tests yet.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to many changes. Among them is universal familiarity with a molecular diagnostic technique that was largely unknown outside clinical use. The polymerase chain reaction — or ...

A new diagnostic tool developed by researchers can test for SARS-CoV-2 and Zika virus with the same or better accuracy as high-precision PCR tests in a matter of hours. Over the past four years, many ...

Because of its high accuracy, laboratory-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is the gold standard for infectious disease diagnostics. However, PCR technology requires highly trained staff ...

Real-time PCR enables faster Mycoplasma detection to meet rigorous cell therapy safety standards and reduce quality control-related workflow delays. Cell therapy innovation is accelerating, but ...
