What is real-time quantitative PCR? qPCR uses one of two methods to detect the changes to DNA amplification: use of fluorescent dyes or sequence-specific DNA probes. qPCR is normally performed in a ...

Researchers have built an RT-PCR platform that gives results in 23 minutes that match the longer laboratory-based tests -- faster than other PCR tests on the market. It can be adapted to test for a ...

Since the emergence of COVID-19 in late 2019, the gold standard in testing for the disease has been a nuclear-derived technique: real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction, or real-time ...

Real-time PCR, or quantitative qPCR, is a commonly used molecular biology lab technique to determine the actual amount of PCR product at a given cycle. For quantitative reverse transcription PCR ...

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 ...

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a method which utilizes the mechanism of DNA replication to amplify a specific part of DNA. This involves the use of DNA polymerase, which makes new strands of DNA ...

As the coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 disease spreads across the world, the IAEA, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), is offering its support ...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was detected easiest when using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests in a pediatric population. Reverse transcription polymerase chain ...

Since its invention in the 1980s, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) opened the door for applications such as genetic engineering, genotyping, and sequencing, and has become a fundamental part of ...
