Real-time PCR uses either fluorescence-based probes or dyes to detect amplified products. Fluorescence-based probes—such as molecular beacons, TaqMan probes and Scorpion probes—generally have ...

Real-time PCR is the favored method for measuring gene expression. Researchers benefit from a vast and growing choice of reagents and instruments for their experiments. Laura Bonetta reports.

Borealis has introduced a new high-performance, recycled linear low-density polyethylene grade (rLLDPE) made from 85% ...

A PCR, also known as a NAAT or molecular test ... and most reported errors with this test are when using it with saliva. 3EO ...

This quantifies the specific amount of DNA present in a sample. The procedure requires specialized thermal cyclers with fluorimeters. Multiplex PCR 3 Multiplex PCR uses multiple primers to amplify ...

Things haven’t got much better over the years, largely shutting STEM classes and biohackers out of the PCR market. That may be about to change, though, if the €99.00 PocketPCR thermal cycler ...

Once inside the cell, the virus uses its own genetic code — RNA in the case of the COVID-19 virus — to take control of and ‘reprogramme’ the cells, turning them into virus-making factories. In order ...

Money, status, or even survival – there’s no shortage of incentives for faking results in the scientific community. What can ...

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 ...

The test, WID-easy, uses some of the same technology used in Covid PCR tests and is less invasive than the traditional ...

Women with signs of womb cancer can be offered a less invasive test to rule out disease, scientists have announced. The new ...

Women with signs of womb cancer can be offered a less invasive test to rule out disease after it was given the green light ...
