Comprehensive multiplex one-step real-time TaqMan qRT-PCR assays for detection and quantification of hemorrhagic fever viruses. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are a group of animal and human illnesses that are mostly caused by several distinct families of viruses including bunyaviruses, flaviviruses, filoviruses and arenaviruses.

Application of Novel Dark-Quencher Labeled Probes in Multiplex qRT-PCR Assays for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2 Variants [PDF]
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute infectious disease caused by the new coronavirus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Because SARS-CoV-2 frequently mutates, it creates a number of variants that must be distinguished and tracked using a rapid detection technique.

High Throughput microRNA Profiling: Optimized Multiplex qRT-PCR at Nanoliter Scale on the Fluidigm Dynamic arrayTM IFCs. [PDF]
The broad involvement of miRNAs in critical processes underlying development, tissue homoeostasis and disease has led to a surging interest among the research and pharmaceutical communities. To study miRNAs, it is essential that the quantification of microRNA levels is accurate and robust.

Development of a multiplex qRT-PCR assay for detection of African swine fever virus, classical swine fever virus and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus. [PDF]
African swine fever virus (ASFV), classical swine fever virus (CSFV), and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) are still prevalent in many regions of China. Co-infections make it difficult to distinguish their clinical symptoms and pathological changes.

3D microdevices that perform sample purification and multiplex qRT-PCR for early cancer detection with confirmation of specific RNAs. [PDF]
Abstract MicroRNA expression analysis is an important screening tool for the early detection of cancer. In this study, we developed two portable three-dimensional microdevices for multiple singleplex RNA expression analysis by microRNA purification and qRT-PCR as a prototype for point-of-care testing.
