In a recent study published in Lancet Microbe, researchers compare the potential of real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) genotyping assays with whole-genome sequencing ...
Remember that the RT-PCR test is just one part of how to diagnose and treat a patient with suspected COVID-19. It is important to look at the rest of the patient’s laboratory results and their images.
Accurate diagnosis is vital for controlling viral spread and guiding clinical and public health decisions. This study aimed to determine active (determined by RT-PCR) and past SARS-CoV-2 infection ...
With COVID-19 infections on the rise in the United States, people exhibiting respiratory symptoms are more likely to seek a test. Now that the disease is in its endemic stage, testing looks different ...
The question quickly arose whether existing rapid antigen tests could detect newly emerging variants. Using clinical samples obtained from diagnostic labs throughout the U.S. from 2020 to 2023, the ...
At the start of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic people who felt unwell had to join long queues for lab-based PCR tests and then wait for two days to learn if they were infected with the COVID-19 virus or not.
A new biotechnology company in McKinney has ambitions to become the world's first fully integrated platform for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing - the same technology behind a common COVID-19 ...
