How it Works: Real Time PCR Brendan Maher The instrumentation is basic: a thermal cycler for amplification, a light source for excitation of fluorescent probes (see chemistries below), a camera for ...

But what is real time RT–PCR? How does it work? How is it different from PCR? And what does this have to do with nuclear technology? Here’s a handy overview of the technique, how it works and a few ...

Last week, I was about to go on a date, and because I'm severely immunocompromised, we agreed he would take a COVID test ...

Since its introduction, PCR has revolutionized molecular biology, and it has become an essential tool for biologists, physicians, and anyone else who works with DNA. PCR relies on several key ...

Fast and accurate, real-time RT–PCR has been critical in detecting, tracking and studying COVID-19. But what is it, and how does it work? Let us explain.

Coamplification at lower denaturation temperature (COLD)-PCR is a PCR-based application that preferentially enriches the amplification of mutants and variants throughout the course of ...

Things haven’t got much better over the years, largely shutting STEM classes and biohackers out of the PCR market. That may be about to change, though, if the €99.00 PocketPCR thermal cycler ...

In order to understand how AFLP-PCR works, it's first important to understand what researchers mean when they use the term "DNA fingerprinting." In short, DNA fingerprinting involves the ...

The following is a summary of “How likely is it that a virus or bacteria is causing a patient’s symptoms? A new approach to interpret the outcome from multi-pathogen PCR,” published in the January ...
