Northwestern scientists have created the fastest-ever hepatitis C diagnostic, delivering accurate results in only 15 minutes.

Scientists at Northwestern University have developed the fastest test yet for diagnosing hepatitis C virus (HCV). The highly accurate diagnostic delivers results to patients in just 15 minutes—up to ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and rapid (antigen) tests for COVID-19 both involve taking a swab. Results for a PCR test take longer, as it needs to go to a laboratory. It is more costly but tends to ...

A new preprint describes a single-step molecular diagnostic test for the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection caused by the Omicron variant that is behind ...

To develop the new rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for HCV, the scientists used the DASH® (Diagnostic Analyzer for ...

For Rachel Robles, getting diagnosed with Long COVID was an uphill battle. She caught the virus in March 2020, when nearly nothing was known about its long-term effects and testing was inaccessible ...

Since the first Covid-19 cases emerged in the U.S. in early 2020, attitudes toward coronavirus testing have evolved as we’ve learned more about the novel coronavirus and how it spreads. Initially, ...

This study explores the effectiveness of toxin testing in predicting Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) outcomes, revealing that patients with negative toxin results were less likely to ...

See how QIAGEN’s flexible pipetting technologies optimize PCR sample preparation, enabling consistent results and faster ...
