The accuracy of the RT-PCR test depends on timing; tests are best given within 10 days of COVID-19 symptom development. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread across the country, many nurse ...

Real-time PCR or quantitative PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is an advancement of the standard PCR technique, which enables continuous monitoring of the reaction and collection of data in real time.

Syndromic reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction tests for respiratory infections were associated with lower health care resource utilization and costs, implicating potential for improved ...

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), previously recognized as centrocytic lymphoma, represents 3 to 9% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas in Western countries (1). It has been individualized both in the REAL and in ...

One of the best ways to figure out how far a virus like COVID-19 has spread in a community is to test for it. This step-by-step guide explains how coronavirus swab-the-nose-and-throat tests work, and ...

This 5-day training is designed to provide a solid understanding of specific topics through presentation and laboratory work.Participants will gain significant experience in the performance of ...

PCR-Machines are based on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and produce copies of genes exponentially. The PCR cycling reactions are carried out in an automated thermocycler, which is capable of heating ...
