PCR-based bacterial and fungal detection helps scientists efficiently analyze the sterility of their cell cultures, improving Mycoplasma testing and beyond. Scientists turn to PCR-based methods that ...

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.

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) is an umbrella term for tests conducted on blood or tissue samples to detect diseases, determine the efficacy of novel or established treatments, and monitor health.

Robust sterility testing is essential to ensure the safety of cell therapies. However, traditional culture-based analysis takes several weeks to confirm a therapeutic’s microbial contamination, which ...

Point-of-care PCR testing for STIs in the ED reduced length of stay and improved antibiotic stewardship compared with central laboratory testing.
