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 ...

Once the concept of PCR popped into Kary Mullis’ head in 1983 it wasn’t long before scientists realized they had a revolutionary technology in their hands. Because now they could take the smallest ...

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) is an umbrella term for tests conducted on blood or tissue samples to detect diseases, determine the efficacy of novel or established treatments, and monitor health.

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIOb) today announced the launch of an RT-PCR kit that allows researchers to simultaneously screen samples for Zika (ZIKV), dengue (DENV1, DENV2, DENV3, DENV4 ...

PCR-based techniques have transformed how scientists analyze transcripts’ translational applications in cancer and ...

In a recent study posted to the Lancet preprint* server, researchers assessed the utility of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) rapid antigen testing (RAT) for patient triage ...

A new form of PCR has been used to improve the library preparation for forensic DNA typing from difficult samples like touch evidence and human remains. Typically, DNA sequencing and analysis is ...
