Today, RATs are generallyhealth authorities'preferredtesting approach. So who is eligible for a PCR? Below are the current guidelines for using RATs versus PCR for each state—and the advice for what to do if youtestpositive or have COVID symptoms. Click the grey plus (+) on your state o...
Combine the two methods described in this manuscript for a full run to design PCR primer pairs for the unique cores se- quences of a positive dataset versus a negative dataset (Method 1 þ Method 2). 2. Find sequences which are unique to a dataset of positive sa...

In conclusion, a rapid screening of IDH2 mutations is now a clinical need well satisfied by ddPCR, but the role of IDH2 as a marker for MRD still remains a matter of debate. Keywords: digital PCR; IDH2; AML; MRD; CPX-351; Enasidenib ...
Sensitivity (the ability to identify the presence of a pathogen) Specificity (the ability to distinguish one pathogen from another) What is multiplex PCR testing? Multiplex PCR testing is when one test looks for multiple infectious agents simultaneously. Examples are STI PCR tests that look for up...
In recent months, a number of molecular POCT testing platforms have been developed, promising rapid results from testing in the area where the patient is being seen, such as A&E. Swab samples are placed into test cartridges that take up little physical space and can be operated by health-ca...

Ambion’s innovative Cells-to-cDNA technology provides a simple and rapid method for preparing cultured cell lysates that can be used directly in gene expression analysis studies. Paired with Applied Biosystems reagents for reverse tr...
As RT-PCR testing has a low sensitivity to Covid-19 infection,we may wonder how many times this test should be replicated for reliability. In some studies, RT-PCR testing was performed as many times as necessary to confirm the infection when clinical suspicion was very high24,25. In our ...
In a study conducted among febrile patients from the Honduran Moskitia, the sensitivity of LM and a rapid diagnostic test based on haemozoin detection were compared against a molecular method, revealing that the sensitivity of LM was less than 65% [35]. In a study conducted in the Peruvian ...
