The nanopore optofluidic chip used in the new diagnostic system, with a PCR thermocycler in the background for comparison. The new system could easily fit into a researcher’s lab or clinician’s office ...

Researchers at the Nebraska Public Health Laboratory worked round the clock to develop a test for the Andes virus at the ...

Over the past four years, many of us have become accustomed to a swab up the nose to test for COVID-19, using at-home rapid antigen tests or the more accurate clinic-provided PCR tests with a longer ...

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.

A new study combines RNA origami and glass nanopores to achieve a 18-nucleotide resolution for diagnosing repeat expansion disorders like ALS.

Promega, a global manufacturer of reagents, assays and benchtop instruments essential for COVID-19 research, drug development and diagnostic testing, including RNA extraction, increased production ...

Introducing a new RNA-seq platform for intracellular multimodal profiling that could transform cancer research and ...

Researchers have developed a technique that can identify errors caused by mutations linked to a range of genetic disorders, ...

Unlike Covid-19, hantavirus cannot be detected using rapid antigen kits. Doctors explain why diagnosis depends on specialised blood tests, PCR analysis and clinical suspicion, especially during severe ...

A new diagnostic tool developed by researchers can test for SARS-CoV-2 and Zika virus with the same or better accuracy as high-precision PCR tests in a matter of hours. Over the past four years, many ...
