Introduction to Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction A highly delicate technique for the amplification and identification of deoxyribonucleic acid is polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In molecular biology, its conceptual simplification has made it the most utilized method and can, in theory, identify as little as a single segment of DNA. Therefore, for a huge variety of bacterial, fungal, viral, ...
As the world opens up over the coming months and years, there will be countless plane journeys to see loved ones, meet new family members and travel for work and leisure. 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 ...
Mic qpcr cycler and Myra liquid handler have been put through their paces in COVID-19-testing field trials in regional Western Australia and found to be noticeably robust, rapidly deployable and flexible. ...
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 ...
Overview of the SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus) Detection Process In December 2019 the novel SARS-CoV-2 (formerly named 2019-nCoV) was identified in Wuhan, the capital of China’s province Hubei. Based on its rapid spreading with more than 105,000,000 confirmed cases by beginning of February 2021 the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international ...
Multiplex real-time PCR: A guide to application In multiplex real-time PCR (qPCR), scientists amplify two or more target genes in the same reaction, using the same reagent mix. Multiplexing allows scientists to overcome limitations for myriad applications. First and foremost, multiplexing enables scientists to conserve valuable samples used in a quantitative assay, which is especially ...
