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
1. Introduction
Due to dramatically increment of human population, many countries realized that food insufficiency will be a big issue during the next decade. To improve agriculture and livestock, they started producing genetically modified organisms (GMO) with high productivity of yield and a resistance to insects and pathogenic infections.
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 important for research involving difficult-to-obtain specimens. In a si
Various microplates are available for quantitative real-time PCR in 96 well format. The main difference is the color, which significantly influences the real-time PCR signal quality and thus the results.
A wide range of microplates from various manufacturers is available for real-time PCR in 96 well format. The major difference between these plates is the co
1. INTRODUCTION
Strategically eliminating damage caused by fungus requires precise identification of the fungal species present (using either conventional or molecular diagnostic techniques). The first step in performing molecular diagnostics on wood-decay fungi is to obtain analyzable fungal DNA.
Five commercially available kits and one CTAB method were tested and analyzed in order to determine effective methods for extracting DNA from field samples. Th
