Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes, reducing ...

Even if you know the name "PCR test"...With the COVID-19 pandemic, the term "PCR test" has become completely familiar.However ...

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 ...

Most of us have been tested for COVID-19 over the past few years. If that’s true of you, you know the routine: you go to a testing site, give your sample, a medical professional sends it to a ...

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 ...

Researchers in South Korea have developed conventional, real-time, and ultrafast real-time PCR assays that distinguish the morphologically similar sea squirts Styela clava and Styela plicata within ...

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, ...

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 ...
