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 ...
Molecular analysis using PCR techniques demands both precision and versatility, integrating methods that offer unique yet complementary strengths. However, researchers can face challenges balancing ...
PCR is a technique used to amplify target DNA in a sample. It’s a well-known method that has undergone numerous modifications to enhance its capabilities. This year, it’s turning 40 years old. PCR has ...
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 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 ...
Kary B. Mullis, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, died Aug. 7 of pneumonia at the age of 74. He won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for ...
With laboratory methods and diagnostics advancing apace, Francesca Lake considers whether PCR is likely to retain its crown as an essential lab method, or whether it could be replaced and consigned to ...
The modular multiplex RT-PCR method simultaneously detects Shiga Toxin E. coli (STEC), Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes using a single, overnight enrichment (24 hours). Ready-to-use PCR ...
