Last week, I was about to go on a date, and because I'm severely immunocompromised, we agreed he would take a COVID test ...

Since the emergence of COVID-19 in late 2019, the gold standard in testing for the disease has been a nuclear-derived technique: real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction, or real-time ...

Diagnosis of H3N2/H1N1 becomes easier, faster and more effective with a new chip-based RT-PCR test developed by Molbio Diagnostics. No mandatory pre arrival negative RT-PCR test report or fully ...

In recent years, quantitative real-time PCR tests have been extensively developed in clinical microbiology laboratories for routine diagnosis of infectious diseases, particularly bacterial diseases.

The real-time PCR test, Alinity m MPXV assay, enables detection of mpox virus DNA from human skin lesion swabs, the WHO said, ...

As the coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 disease spreads across the world, the IAEA, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), is offering its support ...

The more virus was present in the original sample, the more the sample glowed. Lab-based RT-PCR tests provide high accuracy, which helps ensure accurate test results. This gives them diagnostic ...

So the question remains "What are the essential prerequisites for establishing a quantitative RT-PCR assay?" To date, a great deal of effort has been spent defining the "correct" conditions that ...

The patients' characteristics are summarized in Table 1. Initial real-time PCR testing revealed positive detection of Schistosoma DNA in 35 patients. Of the remaining 3 patients with negative PCR ...

The Alinity m MPXV assay is a real-time PCR test designed to detect the monkeypox virus (clade I/II) DNA from human skin lesion swabs. It is intended for use by trained clinical laboratory ...
