Researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle have created a new test for COVID-19 they say combines the speed of an over-the-counter antigen test with the accuracy of a PCR test. The Harmony ...

Over the past four years, many of us have become accustomed to a swab up the nose to test for COVID-19, using at-home rapid antigen tests or the more accurate clinic-provided PCR tests with a longer ...

Study findings indicate that droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) may be more accurate than real-time quantitative PCR in measuring minimal residual disease (MRD) among pediatric patients ...

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 microchip technology test kit may facilitate point-of-care testing in remote locations, clinics, and airports while providing similar accuracy to the tube-based real-time PCR tests, investigators ...

ROSENHEIM, GERMANY, December 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tark Thermal Solutions, the leading global manufacturer of thermal management solutions (formerly Laird ...

Two types of COVID-19 tests, the rapid antigen test and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, are available in the United States. The PCR typically relies on lab testing and is still considered ...

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BiologyWorks™, Inc., a digital healthcare platform company, today announced that a substantive clinical trial of its handheld, reusable molecular test for COVID-19 ...

PCR swab tests that look for viral RNA have become the gold standard for identifying infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but their results aren't 100% accurate. Researchers report that testing for ...

PCR, or polymerase chain reaction, technology is the most accurate way to test for SARS-CoV-2. It involves taking a swab sample from a subject and amplifying the viral genetic material in a lab. In ...
