A study led by Osaka University recently found that the sensitivity of rapid antigen tests (RATs) for the Omicron variant of COVID-19 when compared with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests was 0.63 ...

Molecular tests are far superior to rapid antigen tests—and now you can get them for home use. Last week, I was about to go on a date, and because I'm severely immunocompromised, we agreed he would ...

Researchers often call the polymerase chain reaction test – known as the PCR test – "the gold standard" for detecting the COVID-19 virus. The test is considered highly reliable and effective, and it ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests are one of the most popular diagnostic tools for the detection and diagnosis of viral diseases, such as coronavirus (COVID-19), due to their ability to rapidly ...

For people with suspected community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the emergency department (ED), routine polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing on lower respiratory tract samples led to faster and more ...

A new biotechnology company in McKinney has ambitions to become the world’s first fully integrated platform for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing — the same technology behind a common COVID-19 ...

Promising new inroads into critical DNA testing has been forecast by experts who have applied machine learning to DNA profiling. From medical diagnostics to forensic tests and national security, PCR ...
