PCR technology is a molecular diagnostics technology that detects target nucleic acids by amplifying the DNA amount. It has brought marked progress in the life sciences field since its development in ...

Rapid antigen (RA) tests are being increasingly employed to detect SARS-CoV-2 infections in quarantine and surveillance. Prior research has focused on RT-PCR testing, a single RA test, or generic ...

DNA copy number research is impeded by limited methodology to determine true DNA copy numbers accurately and precisely. Human alpha defensin 1–3 (DEFA1A3) is a multiallelic gene with DNA copy numbers ...

Currently established rapid methods for sterility testing of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are mostly based on growth-based processes or the detection of metabolic activities. However, ...

PCR technology is a molecular diagnostics technology that detects target nucleic acids by amplifying the DNA amount. It has brought marked progress in the life sciences field since its development in ...

Robust sterility testing is essential to ensure the safety of cell therapies. However, traditional culture-based analysis takes several weeks to confirm a therapeutic’s microbial contamination, which ...

During the early stages of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), rapid testing was imperative for public health policymakers and health care workers in order to determine where and what measures ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test kits for COVID-19 use what’s known as gene cloning – not reproductive cloning – to detect the presence or absence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but social media posts ...

PCR genetic analysis has been in the spotlight since COVID-19, but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed a light-induced DNA ...

A PCR diagnostic developed by Roche for the Bundibugyo form of Ebola is being offered to health systems at the front lines of ...
