Stanford researchers have developed Microbe-Independent Deep Assembly and Screening – MIDAS – a polymerase chain ...

Definition: DNA amplification is the laboratory process of making many copies of a selected DNA sequence from a very small starting amount. It allows DNA that would otherwise be too scarce to detect ...

Nucleic acids amplification is an essential method involved in rapid molecular diagnostics, gene manipulations, and genetic analyses, including the detection of bacteria, viruses, and diagnosis of ...

Digital PCR, or dPCR, is a molecular biology technique that detects and quantifies nucleic acid targets. By partitioning a sample into many individual reactions, scientists can measure whether a ...

Unique molecular identifiers are random oligonucleotide sequences that remove PCR amplification biases. However, the impact that PCR associated sequencing errors have on the accuracy of generating ...

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, ...

Countable Labs and Promega announce co-marketing agreement to facilitate end-to end biological sample preparation and rare variant detection.

PCR genetic analysis has been in the spotlight since COVID-19, but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed a light-induced DNA ...

Scientists from Spain have recently compared the efficacy of the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method and immunohistochemistry in detecting severe acute respiratory syndrome ...

With the emergence of the Omicron variant of concern (VOC) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the agent that causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), new and ...

As food safety laboratories strive for faster, reliable, and audit-ready pathogen detection, success depends on more than ...
