Molecular analysis using PCR techniques demands both precision and versatility, integrating methods that offer unique yet complementary strengths. However, researchers can face challenges balancing ...

Researchers develop a molecular testing-based fast-throughput method for the rapid and early detection of Salmonella ...

PCR—the workhorse of modern molecular biology—is charging forward using both conventional and digital methods to explore single cells and even single molecules. Nathan Blow reports. In late 1978, Ry ...

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 ...

Globally, there are three principal variants - UK, South African and Brazilian - of Sars-Cov-2, the virus that causes Covid-19 disease. Now, a new strain of Sars-Cov-2 has been found in Brittany in ...

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 ...

Setting: The diagnosis of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) remains an important clinical problem, primarily because of the inadequate sensitivity of conventional bacteriologic methods for detecting ...

Multiplex PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) has revolutionized molecular diagnostics, enabling the simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens or genetic targets from a single sample. This technology ...

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, ...

With laboratory methods and diagnostics advancing apace, Francesca Lake considers whether PCR is likely to retain its crown as an essential lab method, or whether it could be replaced and consigned to ...
