“As COVID-19 continues to spread in the U.S., having high-quality, reliable, scalable laboratory tests available is a critically important part of the response,” said Marcia Eisenberg, Ph.D., chief scientific officer for LabCorp Diagnostics. “Identifying people who are infected is necessary...
Development of robust isothermal RNA amplification assay for lab-free testing of RNA virusesSimple tests of infectiousness that return results in minutes and directly from samples even with low viral loads could be a potential game-changer in the fight against COVID-19. Here, we describe an ...
Find and book lab tests to screen for sexually transmitted infections (STDs/STIs) including chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, syphilis, HIV, and more. Confidential testing and results.
Massive viral outbreaks draw attention to viruses that have not been thoroughly studied or understood. In recent decades, microfluidic chips, known as "lab-on-a-chip", appears as a promising tool for the detection of viruses. Here, we review the development of microfluidic chips that could be...

At the moment, confirming infection requires time-consumingpolymerase chain reaction-based testsfor viral genes that can only be performed in a few laboratories. The technique behind this test allows researchers in the lab to make millions of copies of a particular section of DNA, but it's not...
from infecting cells also blocked the real SARS-CoV-2 virus from doing so; antibodies or sera that failed to stop the hybrid virus also failed to deter the real SARS-CoV-2. In addition, a decoy molecule was equally effective at misdirecting both viruses and preventing them from infecting ...
thereby reproducing itself. A virus may start reproducing right away, or it may lie dormant until it is triggered by some event (the computer’s clock registering Friday the 13th, for example). Some viruses duplicate themselves when you open an infected file. Others infect the system and infec...
On June 22, the US Department of Health and Human Servicesannouncedthat five commercial lab companies would soon provide testing for monkeypox: Aegis Science, Labcorp, Mayo Clinic Laboratories, Quest Diagnostics, and Sonic Healthcare. (The test detects orthopoxvirus, a genus of viruses to which ...
