In its formative years PCR and its intellectual possessors had to go through some legal wrangling over the originality of the technique. In point of fact, a 13-year earlier paper by Nobelist Gobind ...

Researchers have published a three way comparison study to confirm that the Reverse Transcriptase Free Exponential Amplification Reaction (RTF-EXPAR) method is just as sensitive, but faster, than both ...

In the nearly two decades since its discovery, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its derivative techniques have revolutionized molecular biology. The exponential nature of the technique allows ...

The polymerase chain reaction -- A brief comparison between in vivo DNA replication and in vitro PCR amplification -- The PCR in practice -- The different types and varieties of nucleic acid target ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA and RNA. PCR involves the enzymatic amplification of ...

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) is an umbrella term for tests conducted on blood or tissue samples to detect diseases, determine the efficacy of novel or established treatments, and monitor health.

Limited sample material and insufficient DNA input pose significant challenges for downstream analysis in various laboratory settings. To overcome this issue, isothermal amplification techniques have ...
