For more than 30 years, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been the gold standard in molecular diagnostic testing, detecting genetic material, such as those from a virus or from human DNA. But PCR, ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering and Rover Diagnostics, both at Columbia University, New York, NY, have teamed up to develop a low-cost, photonics-based portable platform that gives RT-PCR results ...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was detected easiest when using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests in a pediatric population. Reverse transcription polymerase chain ...

In a recent study published in Lancet Microbe, researchers compare the potential of real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) genotyping assays with whole-genome sequencing ...

Real-time PCR (qPCR) analysis has become the method of choice for quantitating DNA in a wide variety of applications. The availability of commercial kits has made the technique easy to perform, ...

Researchers have built an RT-PCR platform that gives results in 23 minutes that match the longer laboratory-based tests -- faster than other PCR tests on the market. It can be adapted to test for a ...
