Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have designed a high-quality assay that can be used in at-home tests for rapid COVID-19 screening. Results from an early preclinical study suggest ...
Early detection and ongoing monitoring of infectious diseases depends on diagnostic testing. The US has a large, diverse system of public, academic, and private laboratories that develop new ...
Tools for rapid identification of novel and/or emerging viruses are urgently needed for clinical diagnosis of unexplained infections and pandemic preparedness. Here we developed and clinically ...
Our efforts at CEPI-CLN have been structured into four key processes to ensure the standardization of immunological assays: (i) Robust assay development, validation, and tech-transfer procedures, (ii) ...
Ambient temperature influences the results of some of the most used laboratory tests, and these distortions likely affect medical decision making, such as whether to prescribe medications, researchers ...
Interference in laboratory assays is a concern since it can positively or negatively influence test results, which can affect patient care. Interferents could be endogenous or exogenous compounds.
A point-of-care (POC) high-sensitivity assay for cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) shows diagnostic accuracy comparable to what’s achieved by central laboratory assays and could potentially be a useful ...
