Direct RT-qPCR assay for SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (Alpha, B.1.1.7 and Beta, B.1.351) detection and quantification in wastewater

Lower than a 12 months following the Extreme acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, variants of concern have emerged within the type of variant Alpha (B.1.1.7, the British variant) and Beta (B.1.351, the South Africa variant). Resulting from their excessive infectivity and morbidity, it has grow to be clear that it’s essential to rapidly…

Author Correction: A simple and robust real-time qPCR method for the detection of PIK3CA mutations

Background: Extreme acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has precipitated a pandemic of pneumonia spreading all over the world, resulting in critical threats to public well being and attracting monumental consideration. There’s an pressing want for delicate diagnostic testing implementation to regulate and handle SARS-CoV-2 in public well being laboratories. The quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) assay is…

maxRatio improves the detection of samples with abnormal amplification profiles on QIAgen’s artus HIV-1 qPCR assay

Background: Correct viral load (VL) willpower is paramount to find out the efficacy of anti-HIV-1 remedy. The standard methodology used, fit-point (FP), assumes an equal effectivity within the polymerase chain response (PCR) amongst samples which may not maintain for low-input templates. Another strategy, maxRatio, was launched to compensate for inhibition in PCR. Strategies: Herein, we assessed whether or…
