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.

The question quickly arose whether existing rapid antigen tests could detect newly emerging variants. Using clinical samples obtained from diagnostic labs throughout the U.S. from 2020 to 2023, the ...

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.

Northwestern’s 15-minute test cuts that time by up to 75%. The improvement could shift how clinics manage HCV, especially in low-resource settings where follow-up rates remain low. Researchers argue ...

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 ...

The test takes just 15 minutes, 75 percent faster than current rapid test for the disease. The post Northwestern scientists ...

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

*The Co-Dx PCR platform (including the Co-Dx PCR Home (TM), Co-Dx PCR Pro (TM), mobile app, and all associated tests and software) is subject to review by the FDA and/or other regulatory bodies and is ...

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