The nanopore optofluidic chip used in the new diagnostic system, with a PCR thermocycler in the background for comparison. The new system could easily fit into a researcher’s lab or clinician’s office ...

Researchers have modified a gene editing tool to serve as a highly sensitive diagnostic test for the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. An engineered CRISPR-based method that finds RNA from SARS-CoV-2, ...

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.

In a large-scale study funded by Kings College London, researchers successfully implemented an automated PCR-based testing program for SARS-CoV-2 using saliva samples from asymptomatic students and ...
