A University of Nebraska lab has developed a test that can detect the virus before symptoms become severe. Now, it's ready to ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Ten people who were potentially exposed to the Andes strain of hantavirus are being monitored in five U.S. states, officials ...

The COVID-19 pandemic led to many changes. Among them is universal familiarity with a molecular diagnostic technique that was largely unknown outside clinical use. The polymerase chain reaction — or ...

Unlike Covid-19, hantavirus cannot be detected using rapid antigen kits. Doctors explain why diagnosis depends on specialised blood tests, PCR analysis and clinical suspicion, especially during severe ...

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 ...
