Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was detected easiest when using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests in a pediatric population. Reverse transcription polymerase chain ...
COVID-19 tests are in greater demand than ever, and new data about the Omicron variant can make picking and using different types of tests confusing. Molecular tests for COVID-19, like the "RT-PCR" ...
Viruses that cause measles and the common cold do not produce false-positive COVID-19 reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests, contrary to posts circulating widely online. A ...
Scientists from Hokkaido University have shown that an antigen-based test for quantifying SARS-CoV-2 in saliva samples is simple, rapid, and more conducive for mass-screening. More than a year into ...
Fact Check: RT-PCR tests are highly accurate, Delta variant is determined through genomic sequencing
Social media users are falsely claiming that there is no accurate test to detect the COVID-19 virus and therefore no accurate test to detect the Delta variant. Examples can be seen here and here. Sign ...
