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 ...

Dr. Lauren Bates uses qPCR for pathogen identification and depends on Applied Biosystems QuantStudio Real-Time PCR systems and reagents to achieve optimal results with quick response times. Learn how ...

“Infectious diseases don’t respect borders,” says Khoa Thai, a clinical microbiologist at the Star-shl medical diagnostics laboratory in the Netherlands. To limit their spread, we need a globally ...

A new procedure can improve polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods of detecting plant disease organisms. A new procedure devised by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists and ...

PositiveID Corporation said it has detected E. coli bacteria on the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) chip of its pathogen detection system in less than 20 minutes. The Firefly Dx real-time PCR pathogen ...

Speed or accuracy? As far as COVID-19 tests go, this was the choice you had to make. In the future, this dilemma could be a thing of the past. The Pathogen Analyzer combines the advantages of PCR ...

May 11, 2010 — Compared with standard culture methods, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay quickly and effectively detects pathogens that cause corneal ulcer, according to new research ...

Waterborne pathogens lead to deteriorating water quality and challenge global health and economy. The latest U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Contaminant Candidate List (CCL4) contained 12 ...

For infectious disease pathogen detection and research, real-time PCR enables reliable, sensitive, specific, and scalable results over slower culture-based methods. As SARS-CoV-2 testing declines, ...

Researchers have modified a device for the detection of selected foodborne pathogens in a single reaction-without any enrichment step. Zhou et al developed and evaluated a novel application of the ...
