Ideally, gene expression studies by quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) should be performed using RNA from homogeneous cell populations. Frequently, this means performing qRT-PCR using picogram amounts of ...

The clinical course of neuroblastoma (NB) varies greatly in individual children depending on age, stage, histology and a number of genetic features (Brodeur, 2003; Maris et al, 2007). It is ...

COVID-19 is commonly diagnosed by quantitative fluorescence real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) (1, 2). The test is the sequential action of two enzymes–an ...

Today's gold standard for COVID diagnostics is qRT-PCR, but turnaround is typically more than a day. Newer assays using CRISPR enzymes require initial amplification of RNA, requiring special equipment ...

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the launch of a real-time reverse transcription (qRT) PCR-based diagnostic kit for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 ...

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the launch of a real-time reverse transcription (qRT) PCR-based diagnostic kit for the detection of ...

This paper evaluates the performance of the newest technique for monitoring the expression of a panel of pathway- or disease-specific genes: the RT 2 Profiler PCR Array System from SA Biosciences. The ...

With laboratory methods and diagnostics advancing apace, Francesca Lake considers whether PCR is likely to retain its crown as an essential lab method, or whether it could be replaced and consigned to ...
