The COVID-19 pandemic brought the term "Polymerase Chain Reaction testing" into the mainstream. The PCR method is a type of nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) that detects a pathogen by finding ...
When you think of electric fields, you likely think of electricity — the stuff that makes modern life possible by powering everything from household appliances to cellphones. Researchers have been ...
Scientists from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and elsewhere have described a method of detecting blood-borne pathogens faster and more accurately than traditional blood cultures. The ...
Every so often, a food product is recalled because of some sort of contamination. For consumers of such products, a recall can trigger doubt in the safety and reliability of what they eat and drink.
The Myhrvold lab develops CRISPR-based technologies for studying RNA. Our primary interest is RNAs involved in host-pathogen interactions. We use a variety of RNA viruses and other pathogens as model ...
Chemical biomarkers are measurable molecular signatures (host immune markers, pathogen metabolites, volatile organic ...
The COVID-19 pandemic required laboratories to operate at a record scale in a reduced timelines creating more potential opportunities for accidental template contamination. Three basic recommendations ...
Join us to explore recent advancements and applications of isothermal amplification techniques, such as LAMP, RCA, and RPA. We will compare these methods with traditional PCR, discuss their benefits ...
The growing prevalence of infectious diseases, increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and the rising demand for rapid diagnostic solutions are the key drivers of growth in the global clinical ...
