When creating a PCR protocol, users normally concentrate on the template DNA, reaction mix (buffer, dNTPs, taq polymerase), primers, probes, and the thermocycler, which is the main instrument used to ...

Here, we describe a method of systematic PCR screening with multiround sample pooling for the isolation of rare PCR-positive samples. As an example, we have applied this protocol to the recovery of ...

In a recently published study in BioTechniques, researchers have reassessed the status quo by performing a direct comparison on single versus triplicate 16S PCR reactions across hundreds of samples in ...

By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD A new same-day detection strategy shows how simple, low-cost lab steps can uncover Salmonella in meats ...

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique continues to grow and develop, now boasting several different types, having a variety of effective applications such as the detection of pathogens and ...

Programmable RNA base editors are excellent tools to modify RNA transcripts at precise locations or designated hotspots. Post editing, it is critical to provide precise and accurate quantification for ...

Bibby Scientific announces that the Techne TC-Plus thermal cycler has been shown to contribute to savings in PCR reaction times by using faster ramp rates, modified programs and modified reaction ...

While the Delta variant of Covid-19 continues to swirl, many travel companies are cautiously churning back to business, albeit with modified protocols. Cruises are no exception, and Viking enlisted ...

Some private hospitals have completely violated Health Ministry guidelines when conducting PCR tests and exceeded their capacities without following Ministry procedures, the National Operation Centre ...
