After the COVID-19 pandemic, fever clinics urgently require rapid nucleic acid tests to enhance their capacity for timely pathogen detection. This study evaluated the ...

Definition: DNA amplification is the laboratory process of making many copies of a selected DNA sequence from a very small starting amount. It allows DNA that would otherwise be too scarce to detect ...

Multi-template polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a critical technique enabling the parallel amplification of diverse DNA molecules, thereby facilitating applications in fields from quantitative ...

This article explores how advances in qPCR are improving speed, sensitivity, and portability, enabling faster diagnostics and ...

Promega, a global manufacturer of reagents, assays and benchtop instruments essential for COVID-19 research, drug development and diagnostic testing, including RNA extraction, increased production ...

Over the past four years, many of us have become accustomed to a swab up the nose to test for COVID-19, using at-home rapid antigen tests or the more accurate clinic-provided PCR tests with a longer ...

Isothermal amplification methods streamline nucleic acid amplification without the need for thermal cycling. Join us to explore two innovative techniques, Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) ...

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) is an umbrella term for tests conducted on blood or tissue samples to detect diseases, determine the efficacy of novel or established treatments, and monitor health.

Learn how viral vector release testing for AAV and lentiviral vectors utilizes orthogonal assays for titer, capsid content, ...

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researchers have developed a CRISPR-based diagnostic tool capable of detecting bloodstream infections in minutes without the need for nucleic acid ...

Countable Labs and Promega announce co-marketing agreement to facilitate end-to end biological sample preparation and rare variant detection.

Because of its high accuracy, laboratory-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is the gold standard for infectious disease diagnostics. However, PCR technology requires highly trained staff ...
