Northwestern scientists have created the fastest-ever hepatitis C diagnostic, delivering accurate results in only 15 minutes.

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 ...

A new preprint describes a single-step molecular diagnostic test for the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection caused by the Omicron variant that is behind ...

A new test developed by scientists at Northwestern University could make a big difference in the fight against hepatitis C.

Scientists at Northwestern University have developed the fastest test yet for diagnosing hepatitis C virus (HCV). The highly ...

To develop the new rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for HCV, the scientists used the DASH® (Diagnostic Analyzer for ...

This study explores the effectiveness of toxin testing in predicting Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) outcomes, revealing that patients with negative toxin results were less likely to ...

Roche AG’s new test using its temperature-activated generation of signal technology is the next step in PCR evolution, Igor Kozlov, head of Reagent Research and Design at Roche Diagnostics Solutions, ...
