Inconclusive Samples SARS-CoV-2 Real-time PCR
Ensuring Accurate Results with SARS-CoV-2 Detection | SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests, can be inaccurate in two ways, as can all diagnostic assays.
Data Supporting PGT-A
Do We Have Enough Data (yet) on PGT-A? | I’ve been involved in the Preimplantation Genetic Testing field since my first case in 1992. I’ve seen it grow and change over time in response to the latest publications and I’ve seen the tests evolve from polymerase chain reaction (PCR) through fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), microarrays, and next generation sequencing (NGS).
Choosing a SARS-CoV-2 Real-time RT-PCR Assay
Important Considerations When choosing a SARS-CoV-2 Real-time RT-PCR Assay | Accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2 is critical for both patient treatment, as well as, control of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many factors need to be considered when choosing a workflow to use for SARS-CoV-2 detection.
Sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Kits
The Importance of Sensitivity in SARS-CoV-2 Real-Time RT-PCR Assays | Accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2 is critical for both patient treatments, as well as control of the COVID-19 pandemic. One important factor to consider when deciding upon a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay to use for detection of SARS-CoV-2 is the Limit of Detection (LOD).
