Scientists develop PCR test that can detect the presence of nine genes, helping distinguish whether the germlings are male or female, and whether they are haploid or diploid A simple PCR test could be ...

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 ...

Northwestern scientists have created the fastest-ever hepatitis C diagnostic, delivering accurate results in only 15 minutes.

Pioneering 15-minute polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for hepatitis C virus facilitates same-day diagnosis and initiating ...

As the federal health emergency ended May 11 and COVID numbers are on the rise, here’s how you can still access tests, at-home and PCR. (Michael Bocchieri/Getty Images) It’s that time again: COVID-19 ...

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test detects genetic material from a pathogen or abnormal cell sample. Ways of collecting samples include a nasal swab, a saliva swab, or taking a sample of blood.

To develop the new rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for HCV, the scientists used the DASH® (Diagnostic Analyzer for ...

The test requires a certain amount of viral material to be captured by a nasal swab or saliva samples. PCR, or polymerase chain reaction, technology is the most accurate way to test for SARS-CoV-2. It ...

A newly cleared point-of-care test will enable rapid identification of whooping cough, according to a press release from ...

If you had COVID-19 symptoms in 2020, you probably would have masked up and braved a visit to a laboratory, doctor’s office, or clinic to get a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. A health care ...

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 ...
