As the coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 disease spreads across the world, the IAEA, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), is offering its support ...

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.

The PCR mix contained 8 pmol of each reverse and FAM-M13(-21) primer and 2 pmol of the forward primer in a final 50 μl reaction volume (Perkin-Elmer Standard PCR reaction buffer, 0.2 mM dNTPs ...

Since the emergence of COVID-19 in late 2019, the gold standard in testing for the disease has been a nuclear-derived technique: real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction, or real-time ...

PCR-Machines are classified depending on the capacity of PCR used such as Nested PCR or Reverse Transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR ), or Multiplex RT PCR. PCR-machines are used for replication of DNA ...

real-time PCR (qPCR), digital PCR (dPCR), reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), hot-start PCR, multiplex PCR, and other PCR techniques. The qPCR segment holds the largest share of the market.
