COVID-19 Real-Time RT-PCR: Does Positivity on Follow-up RT-PCR Always Imply Infectivity?

Rapid Detection of COVID-19 by RT-LAMP PCR Technique and its Comparison with Real-Time RT-PCR Method

Rapid antigen and antibody, serological tests, and RT ‑ PCR-based molecular methods are widely used for the detection of microorganisms worldwide. Objectives: This study aimed by Isothermal nucleic acid amplification techniques to detect the covid-19. Methods: In this study, 200 samples of nasopharynx and oropharynx were collected from Jamaran Heart Hospital in Tehran. Covid -19 was exami...

Factors Influencing Real-Time RT-PCR Results: Application of Real-Time RT-PCR for the Detection of Leukemia Translocations

A variety of factors that influence real-time reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR results were examined. Realtime reaction volumes can be decreased from the manufacturers suggested volumes (50μl) to as little as 5μl. Errors introduced through volume handlings can be significantly mitigated through the use of electronic pipettes. Random hexamers are compared against the use of a specific reverse tran...

Real-Time RT-PCR for the Detection of Lyssavirus Species

The causative agents of rabies are single-stranded, negative-sense RNA viruses in the genus Lyssavirus of Rhabdoviridae, consisting of twelve classified and three as yet unclassified species including classical rabies virus (RABV). Highly neurotropic RABV causes rapidly progressive encephalomyelitis with nearly invariable fatal outcome. Rapid and reliable diagnosis of rabies is highly relevant ...
