Efficacy of the two PCR kits for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid Detection

bioxone October 1, 2020September 30, 2020

-Srilagna Sarkar, Amity University Kolkata

To compare the diagnostic efficacy of the two different reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test kits. Throat swab samples from 18 hospitalized patients who were clinically tested for COVID-19 and from 100 hospitalized patients who were COVID negative were taken.
SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid was detected in throat swab samples of the Sansure PCR kit and Sanghai BioGerm PCR kit respectively.

The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and the kappa value were analyzed and three parallel tests of the three weakly positive samples were performed to analyse the respective values.

For all of the three parallel tests in all of the three samples, the coefficient of variation value of the BioGerm PCR kit was smaller for both ORF1ab and N gene compared to Sansure RT PCR kits. Detecting that the efficacy of the BioGerm PCR kit for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid detection was relatively higher than the Sansure PCR kit.

    Really helpful for people who didn’t even know what testing kits they actually use!! Now it will be surely better to rely on the testing reports!!!!!

Artificial lung to relieve from respiratory problems?

bioxone October 1, 2020

Ritwika Chowdhury, Team bioXone. Independent breathing is a common obstacle to the survival of pre-term babies because the lungs are not fully formed. This leads to respiratory distress right after birth because they cannot take up enough oxygen on their own.An international team led by current and former McMaster University researchers has developed an artificial […]

Peripheral nerve regeneration: New research findings revealed!

BioTech Today October 30, 2021October 30, 2021

Aqsa, Jamia Millia Islamia The peripheral nerves can regenerate following an injury. Schwann plays a vital role in the regeneration of these nerves. They release myelin, de-differentiate, and proliferate. But the rate at which they regenerate is about 1 mm/day in humans, which is extremely slow. It often leads to incomplete recovery or disability in […]
