Because of the way the Omicron variant has mutated, some PCR lab tests can provide a good hint that it's around. The clue is not definitive, but it can help scientists determine which tests to ...

COVID-19 testing has spawned a veritable cottage industry, with medically minded entrepreneurs stepping up to meet increased demand — often charging top dollar to expedite PCR test results.

PCR tests involve a lab process that can detect the genetic material of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. That’s why it typically takes a couple of days to get results.

The point-of-care tests are a fast and cheap, though less accurate, way of detecting the virus compared to sending nasal swabs to a lab.

Scientists at Columbia University unveiled research Monday that they said bring polymerase chain reaction, known as PCR, testing for COVID-19 and other viruses out of the lab and into doctor's ...

Researchers have developed a novel lab-on-a-chip infection test that could provide less expensive and faster portable diagnostics. The Imperial College London chip, known as TriSilix, is a micro ...

Chinese scientists say they have developed a new coronavirus test that is as accurate as a PCR lab test but gives results within four minutes. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests are widely ...

The authors compare MAP testing with PCR-based detection methods, focusing on differences in animal use, laboratory requirements, sample size, and limits of detection.

The partnership expands BioIQ’s fully integrated healthcare services to include Biomeme’s on-site testing platform to provide accurate, real-time RT-PCR COVID-19 test results with centralized ...

Current Coronavirus chaos is caused by phony PCR tests that result in frequent and avoidable false positive and false negative results.

Ultra-rapid RT-PCR testing instruments installed at the Century City location are currently performing tests on more than 700 patients per day, with capacity to scale to thousands per day.
