Until this past January, few outside academic and diagnostic labs knew what quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) was, much less its role in viral and bacterial disease detection.

Reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is the most commonly used method for the quantification of mRNA expression levels. Generally, the starting material for RTqPCR is purified ...

Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR or qPCR) is revolutionizing many aspects of molecular biology and becoming the gold standard for accurate, sensitive, and fast quantification of gene expression.

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigated the efficacy of diagnostic tests for identifying severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) variants ...

In a recent study published in PLOS ONE, researchers developed a reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) system to identify severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus ...

Labs incorporating automation into their qPCR workflows need assurance that their reagents are stable during reaction setup and testing. However, existing 1-Step RT-qPCR master mixes experience lower ...

From the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, diagnostic testing has been highlighted as a key part of global measures to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2. In a media briefing on March 16, 2020, Dr Tedros ...
