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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new diagnostic tool promises to sharpen the way scientists track two closely related blood parasites of wild canids.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought the term "Polymerase Chain Reaction testing" into the mainstream. The PCR method is a type of nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) that detects a pathogen by finding ...

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 ...
