Sampling (including transport) and sample pooling. Preventing contamination, including contamination of the laboratory equipment and the environment with viral RNA. Manual extraction of RNA, automated ...
Researchers at Columbia Engineering and Rover Diagnostics, both at Columbia University, New York, NY, have teamed up to develop a low-cost, photonics-based portable platform that gives RT-PCR results ...
Researchers have built an RT-PCR platform that gives results in 23 minutes that match the longer laboratory-based tests -- faster than other PCR tests on the market. It can be adapted to test for a ...
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test detects genetic material from a pathogen or abnormal cell sample. Ways of collecting samples include a nasal swab, a saliva swab, or taking a sample of blood.
