In recent years, quantitative real-time PCR tests have been extensively developed in clinical microbiology laboratories for routine diagnosis of infectious diseases, particularly bacterial diseases.

Real-time PCR plays a foundational role in gene expression studies, disease analysis, and molecular diagnostics. However, success depends on precise reaction setup, optimized assays, and accurate ...

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

First results of the prospective Neoadjuvant Breast Registry Symphony Trial (NBRST). This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2013 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract does not include a full text ...

Patients in rural communities often lack timely access to innovative infectious disease testing because diagnostic laboratories are located far away. Long transport times and logistical barriers delay ...

Scientists at Northwestern University have developed the fastest test yet for diagnosing hepatitis C virus (HCV). The highly ...

COVID cases are starting to creep up again in the U.S., and it’s understandable to have new questions about the virus and the newest CDC guidance on isolation after a positive test. After all, it’s ...

The new PCR test aids in the diagnosis of infectious causes of vaginitis through the detection of bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis and yeast associated with candida vaginitis. The test wil ...

The series of thermoelectric coolers (TECs) is engineered specifically for demanding PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing applications, delivering high reliability, precise temperature control, and ...

PCR tests represent a major advance in the rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases. The qPCR technology has allowed easier and more effective implantation of molecular diagnosis in the clinical ...
