Most infections present as a syndrome, with signs and symptoms that are common to many pathogens. Traditional diagnostic methods often rely on guesswork—ordering a targeted test for the most probable cause of illness, waiting hours or even days for results, and repeating the process until a pathogen is positively identified. The syndromic approach, however, empowers healthcare ...
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a well-known technique that has been adopted for detection of many bacteria, fungi, viruses, and viroids due to high specificity and sensitivity. However, most of the currently used PCR analysis techniques for multiple pathogen detection are very time-consuming, require tedious reaction set up in strictly controlled laboratory conditions and prone to user ...
Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, recently launched the Applied Biosystems Axiom Microbiome Array for simultaneous detection of archaea, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses in human and non-human samples. Developed in collaboration with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), the array is designed to increase the understanding of microorganisms, while ...
The idea is simple: when a patient has a bacterial infection, doctors should find out what kind of bacteria it is so they can give the most effective treatment. But growing bacteria in a lab to identify it takes hours to days. ...
Run by innovation foundation Nesta and supported by Innovate UK as funding partner, the Longitude Prize is a £10 million prize fund to create a cost-effective, rapid and easy-to-use diagnostic test for bacterial infections so that the right antibiotics can be administered at the right time. ...
A potentially serious health concern related to hot tubs is Legionnaires’ disease. It is caused by a type of bacteria known as Legionella and people can become infected if they breathe in a mist or water droplets that contain the bacteria. EMSL provides testing services to identify a wide array of microbial pathogens to help prevent the ...
ATIS® is now incorporated within the boilers of a number of Daimer® commercial and industrial steam cleaner models, including the KleenJet ® Mega 1000CVP vapor steam cleaner vacuum machine.
