Roche has secured CE Mark approval for its cobas BV/CV assay to support the diagnosis of infectious causes of vaginitis.

The recurrence score based on the 21-gene breast-cancer assay has been clinically useful in predicting a chemotherapy benefit in hormone-receptor–positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 ...

The latest advances in genome sequencing indicate proteases occur naturally in all organisms and account for about 2% of the human genome and 1–5% of genomes of infectious organisms. The human genome ...

The recurrence score based on the 21-gene breast cancer assay predicts chemotherapy benefit if it is high and a low risk of recurrence in the absence of chemotherapy if it is low; however, there is ...

Seed amplification assays, those PCR-like reactions for toxic misfolded proteins, are starting to look pretty good. In the May Lancet Neurology, scientists led by Andrew Siderowf, University of ...

Electrophoretic mobility shift assay, sometimes referred to as EMSA, is a sensitive method for investigating nucleic acid-protein binding. This is based on gel electrophoresis and is based on the ...

GVA is a high throughput cell viability assay for microbiology. Akin to the classic CFU assay, GVA measures the number of viable microbes in a sample based on counting discrete colonies. The classic ...
