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.

Researchers have developed a working prototype of a PCR test for monkeypox that provides accurate, easy-to-read results The test works with a compact, portable system developed for COVID-19 ...

It’s a type of nucleic acid test. That makes it similar in some way to lab-based PCR tests, which also detect the genetic material of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID.

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

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 ...

No, "stealth omicron" isn't evading PCR tests. Here's what's really going on Rumors abound that BA.5, or "stealth omicron," is going undetected on hospital lab 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.

Labcorp was tapped by the CDC last month to help make monkeypox testing widely available through its broad network of diagnostic labs.

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 ...
