The test detects specific SARS CoV2 IgG and IgM antibodies in the blood in response to a coronavirus infection. The detection of antibodies can be used to identify those who have already had contact with the virus. IgG may remain elevated for up to several months and possibly years, which could help determine who has been exposed to the ...
Therefore, researchers are now expanding upon this innate ability to train them to detect COVID-19. The overall hope is for dogs to be able to detect COVID-19 in patients that are not yet displaying any symptoms. ...
The new rapid test will significantly increase testing capacity and deliver greater resource efficiency. The project has been awarded an EIT Health product development grant by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. The rapid test provides a lab-in-your-pocket solution which guarantees mobile testing capability based on the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technique. The test kit can ...
Millions of people have been tested for the novel coronavirus, most using a kit that relies on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This sensitive method amplifies SARS-CoV-2 RNA from patient swabs so that tiny amounts of the virus can be detected. However, as the pandemic surges, this laboratory workhorse is showing signs of strain. ...
As the situation with the novel coronavirus rapidly evolves, Grifols is continuously monitoring the situation of our plasma center network and taking all necessary measures to help ensure the safety of our donors and employees. ...
But in the case of the recent Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak early detection and isolation of potentially infectious patients is essential to prevent unnecessary exposures among patients, healthcare personnel, and visitors to a healthcare facility. ...
