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 ...

A genetic variant called IMP-18, common in Costa Rica and other Latin American countries, was not detected by commercial systems.

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 ...

First developed more than four decades ago as a biological research technique to amplify nucleic acids, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology still has untapped potential, with many exciting ...

The COVID-19 pandemic brought the term "Polymerase Chain Reaction testing" into the mainstream. The PCR method is a type of ...

For people with suspected community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the emergency department (ED), routine polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing on lower respiratory tract samples led to faster and more ...

PCR is a mainstay in diagnostics, but whether a sample is collected at a clinic or at home, such tests require sending a sample to a lab and then waiting for results. A new FDA authorized ...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was detected easiest when using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests in a pediatric population. Reverse transcription polymerase chain ...
