The COVID-19 pandemic yielded important advances in testing for respiratory viruses, but it also exposed important unmet needs in screening to prevent the spread of infections in high-risk settings.

Over the past four years, many of us have become accustomed to a swab up the nose to test for COVID-19, using at-home rapid antigen tests or the more accurate clinic-provided PCR tests with a longer ...

Autonomous Medical Devices Incorporated (AMDI) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted both ...

Because of its high accuracy, laboratory-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is the gold standard for infectious disease diagnostics. However, PCR technology requires highly trained staff ...

“Infectious diseases don’t respect borders,” says Khoa Thai, a clinical microbiologist at the Star-shl medical diagnostics laboratory in the Netherlands. To limit their spread, we need a globally ...

Mucor PCR testing of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid showed high specificity in identifying invasive pulmonary mucormycosis (IPM) in lung transplant recipients, especially when used in conjunction ...

These tests have very limited clinical use. The need for antibody testing would be to determine if a patient has recovered from COVID-19, and whether we could take a sample of the patient’s plasma to ...

A simple PCR of mouth rinse may serve as a useful non-invasive test in diagnosing Pneumocystis pneumonia compared with ...

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 ...

Real-time PCR enables faster Mycoplasma detection to meet rigorous cell therapy safety standards and reduce quality control-related workflow delays. Cell therapy innovation is accelerating, but ...

As food safety laboratories strive for faster, reliable, and audit-ready pathogen detection, success depends on more than ...
