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 ...

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 ...

Following adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated transduction, cellular RNA preparations can be contaminated with AAV single-stranded DNA. The single-stranded DNA genome of recombinant AAV vectors can ...

When it comes to detecting rare cancer-causing mutations, both sensitivity and specificity matter. In the past few years, digital PCR (dPCR) has captured the attention of researchers and clinicians ...

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 ...

Chemists at Northwestern University have set a DNA detection sensitivity record for a diagnostic method that is not based on PCR -- giving PCR a legitimate rival for the first time. EVANSTON, Ill. --- ...

This paper presents a DNA extraction method suitable for fresh, herbariumstored, lichenized and other fungal specimens. The method is fast and reliable, comparatively inexpensive and is suitable for ...

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 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 ...
