While RNA is like DNA, it is substantially different to imitate it very ineffectively with Taq polymerase, the conventional enzyme used for DNA amplification. Subsequently, a version of the PCR test called reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, detects RNA. This involves a two-step technique that typically consists of two enzymes; the first step ...
To this end, several diagnostic methods have been designed and tested, and one USA FDA approved test kit utilises fluorescence based reverse transcript real-time polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) technique. The rRT-PCR test works by detecting replicated nucleic acid copies from the SARS-CoV-2 virus through a ...
COVID-19 has put an intense spotlight on automated liquid handling systems in particular, and with worldwide reliance and investment in PCR testing capabilities, this insatiable demand for rapid testing is unlikely to dissipate soon. ...
We have great news to share: we launched Schep SARS-CoV-2 Multi-FAST, a new PCR diagnostic test for the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2, now in multiplex and in a single step format! Simple detection, by reverse transcription and Real Time PCR. It consists of a single Master Mix, ready to use, containing the enzymes, primers and probes, specific ...
IGeneX COVID-19 Airline Travel Program IGeneX offers two different expedited COVID-19 RT-PCR tests for travelers or anyone with time-sensitive testing needs. Learn how they work and how to order one below. How the tests work IGeneX’s COVID tests for travel are RT-PCR ...

Many of these travellers will first need to provide evidence of a negative PCR test to show they pose a minimal COVID-19 transmission risk. Time is proving of the essence for testing. With reports of multi-hour queues at airports from Portugal to India to Britain because of these important testing requirements, it’s clear ...
“There’s a ton of point-of-care tests on the market, so what we focus on is how we can do multimodal testing with a single device, on a single card—PCR, chemistry, and serology testing.” The platform is intended for use beyond COVID-19 PCR testing and even beyond medical, ...

While some had their research grind to a halt, others have pivoted or have been redirected to support the new global cause – everything from conducting RT-PCR sampling and testing, to SARS-CoV-2 research. There have been both winners and losers as a result. ...
SARS-CoV-2 detection workflow in wastewater Monitoring wastewater for SARS-CoV-2 – or Coronavirus as it is more commonly known – can be a valuable data resource for an effective COVID-19 management. However, there are several challenges involved in detecting biological parameters in wastewater. Fortunately, there are also several solutions available to overcome them. Wastewater ...
All of the feed homogenates were tested by a PRRSV quantitative real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR). Seven groups of feed homogenates from Treatment I (NC)-Id,Treatment 2 (PC)-Id,Treatment 3 (Product)-1 d.Treatment 2 (PC)-4d,Treatment 3 (Product)-4d,Treatment 2 (PC)-7d, and Treatment 3 (Product)-7d were selected for pig bioassay.Twenty-one (10-day-old) PRRSV pigs were ...
By providing a species identity rapidly, the clinician is aided with information that may direct appropriate therapy sooner and more accurately than current approaches, including PCR-based ...
In this study, 375 seawater samples collected from the Eastern coast of Saudi Arabia were tested for the presence of V. parahaemolyticus. Three hundred and forty samples were determined positive for V. parahaemolyticus using traditional microbiological techniques. The genes toxR and tlh were detected via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 41 isolates from 23 ...
Conflict of interest statement Competing Interests: The authors have the following interests: John Conly has received honoraria from the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health for work as an expert reviewer and clinical expert, respectively, for projects on the role of rapid PCR testing for MRSA in hospitalized patients and the use of vancomycin ...
According to EMLAB P&K, one of the foremost mold testing labs in the U.S., C. gattii can be cultured and identified by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test. ...
