ABSTRACT: There is considerable interest in quantitatively measuring nucleic acids from single cells to small populations. The most commonly employed laboratory method is the real-time polymerase ...

Here we describe a simplified method for direct breakage of the emulsion using the DNA binding buffer (containing guanidine hydrochloride and isopropanol) that is provided with commonly used silica ...

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 ...

Anyone who consistently uses retinoids will know just how transformative the results can be. In fact, there’s a reason why vitamin A is lauded by derms as the ‘gold-standard’ ingredient for fading ...

Digital Droplet PCR (ddPCR) is a method for performing digital PCR use microfluidic water-oil emulsion technology. By utilizing microfluidics and fractionating DNA samples into nanoliter droplets , ...

Conventional “bulk” PCR often yields inefficient and nonuniform amplification of complex templates in DNA libraries, introducing unwanted biases. Amplification of single DNA molecules encapsulated in ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test kits for COVID-19 use what’s known as gene cloning – not reproductive cloning – to detect the presence or absence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but social media posts ...

Abstract: BEAMing (beads, emulsion, amplification, and magnetics) is a high sensitive emulsion digital PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology. Target beads obtained via BEAMing can be used to ...

In this week's edition of the Covid Q&A, we dive into how to know you’re really Covid negative. In hopes of making this very confusing time just a little less so, each week Bloomberg Prognosis picks ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and rapid (antigen) tests for COVID-19 both involve taking a swab. Results for a PCR test take longer, as it needs to go to a laboratory. It is more costly but tends to ...
