In recent years, quantitative real-time PCR tests have been extensively developed in clinical microbiology laboratories for routine diagnosis of infectious diseases, particularly bacterial diseases.

Real-time PCR plays a foundational role in gene expression studies, disease analysis, and molecular diagnostics. However, success depends on precise reaction setup, optimized assays, and accurate ...

The system is intended for use in urgent care clinics, primary care settings, physician office laboratories, and pharmacies.

It’s best to test for RSV soon after your symptoms start. That’s because you’ll likely have the most virus in your system then. As you get better, the amount of virus will go down. (Photo Credit: ...

Gene expression experiments measure changes in RNA transcript levels to compare how genes are up- or down-regulated across ...

Patients in rural communities often lack timely access to innovative infectious disease testing because diagnostic laboratories are located far away. Long transport times and logistical barriers delay ...

PCR tests represent a major advance in the rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases. The qPCR technology has allowed easier and more effective implantation of molecular diagnosis in the clinical ...
