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 ...

Once the concept of PCR popped into Kary Mullis’ head in 1983 it wasn’t long before scientists realized they had a revolutionary technology in their hands. Because now they could take the smallest ...

According to a recent report on the gene-amplification technologies market from Global Industry Analysts, there are close to 70,000 bioresearchers using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) in North ...

A recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server reported the development and validation of a two-reaction multiplex reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) ...

Analysts interested in quantifying and verifying the presence of DNA or RNA specific to an organism in a sample should consider using the Thermo Fisher QuantStudio 3 system. The QuantStudio system 3 ...

Scientists around the world employ quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) to measure the amount of particular nucleic acid sequences within a sample. While this technique is rapid, sensitive, and ...
