Trends are exclusive digital series focusing on the most crucial topics and issues facing today's laboratory professionals.
4-Part Series
Real-time PCR Multiplex Testing for Infectious Diseases
Real-time PCR multiplex testing is gaining popularity as a molecular diagnostics approach due to its ability to detect multiple pathogens simultaneously, fast turnaround times, and simple workflows. It is being used for detection of respiratory, urinary, vaginal, sexually transmitted, and gastrointestinal pathogens, as well as antibiotic resistance markers.
