There are three different ways to test for COVID-19: PCR tests, antigen tests and antibody tests. Here are the differences.

The PCR test, which involves replicating a segment of COVID-19 DNA, is distinct from human cloning. In addition, the paper cited as evidence predates the pandemic and is unrelated to human cloning.

When you think about getting tested for COVID-19, you’re most likely picturing two types of tests: the at-home rapid antigen tests you can buy at the drugstore and the PCR test where the results ...

The Covid-19 clinical testing laboratory at the Rockefeller University, where I work, has implemented an easy-to-use, sensitive, inexpensive serial PCR saliva testing program that has helped keep ...

Sorey said OSPRI’s vertically integrated business model is unique. It researches diseases, develops new PCR tests, ...

The new process will allow 10 times more testing at one tenth of the cost and it's just as accurate, if not more so, than the current PCR testing we have for COVID. So why is that? It's automated.

To develop the rapid PCR test, the researchers are using Minute Molecular’s DASH Analyzer, a compact, portable system that provides easy-to-read results in approximately 15 minutes.

Researchers have built an RT-PCR platform that gives results in 23 minutes that match the longer laboratory-based tests -- faster than other PCR tests on the market. It can be adapted to test for ...

Among the cases, only 29.5% had West Nile virus PCR testing ordered on whole blood, of which 80.3% were positive, including seven cases for which West Nile virus serologic testing was negative and ...

The PCR test is designed to detect all non-smallpox-related orthopoxviruses, a group that includes cowpox, horsepox and camelpox, along with monkeypox.
