PCR-based bacterial and fungal detection helps scientists efficiently analyze the sterility of their cell cultures, improving Mycoplasma testing and beyond. Scientists turn to PCR-based methods that ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test kits for COVID-19 use what’s known as gene cloning – not reproductive cloning – to detect the presence or absence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but social media posts ...

Robust sterility testing is essential to ensure the safety of cell therapies. However, traditional culture-based analysis takes several weeks to confirm a therapeutic’s microbial contamination, which ...

At the start of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic people who felt unwell had to join long queues for lab-based PCR tests and then wait for two days to learn if they were infected with the COVID-19 virus or not.

Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator (CARB-X) will award up to US$1.8 million to biotechnology company, Visby Medical, to develop a portable rapid polymerase chain ...

Roche’s cobas® BV/CV PCR assay aims to address frequent misdiagnosis of bacterial vaginosis and Candida vaginitis. The duplex test detects both conditions from one swab with high specificity, enabling ...
