On February 18, 2025, Gilead Sciences announced a significant milestone: the U.S. FDA accepted their New Drug Applications ...

Polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is a laboratory technique used to make multiple copies of a segment of DNA. PCR is very precise and can be used to amplify, or copy, a specific DNA target from a ...

Rapid syndromic polymerase chain reaction testing in the ICU vs standard-of-care testing improves antibiotic stewardship but ...

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA ...

In most cases, the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is their method of choice for quickly generating a sufficient amount of identical genetic material for study and analysis. Prior to the ...

PCR amplifies DNA in a three-step process ... The coils rapidly heat a reaction block up to the 99°C denaturation temperature, the fan brings that down to the 68°C needed for annealing, and ...

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researchers have developed a CRISPR-based diagnostic tool capable of detecting ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based rapid sterility testing offers a revolutionary alternative, delivering accurate contamination detection in hours while maintaining the sensitivity needed to ...

The most common challenge that we see in diagnosing fungal infections is actually making an accurate diagnosis. And the reason is because sometimes it's not easy to identify these organisms as a ...

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 CFX96™ optical reaction module converts the C1000 Touch™ thermal cycler chassis into the powerful and precise CFX96 Touch real-time PCR detection system. This six-channel system combines ...
