The first public meeting of the general anti-Nebraska movement where the name Republican was suggested for a new anti-slavery party was held on March 20, 1854 in a schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin. The name was partly chosen to pay homage to Thomas Jefferson's Republican Party.
Molecular tests can detect influenza viral RNA (positive results) for a longer duration than other influenza testing (e.g., antigen testing-immunofluorescence or rapid influenza diagnostic tests).his guidance focuses upon molecular assays for influenza as they are increasingly being used in clinical settings (1). Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and other molecular assays can identify the presence of influenza viral RNA in respiratory specimens.
PRINT. By Frederick L. Kiechle, M.D., Ph.D. Molecular diagnostics is growing rapidly. Molecular diagnostic tests detect specific sequences in DNA or RNA that may or may not be associated with disease, including single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), deletions, rearrangements, insertions and others.olecular diagnostic testing usually generates a profit margin that increases as the testing volume goes up. In general, there is greater clinical demand for tests that produce results in less than one day.
