Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

  • If the nucleic acid amplification technique is used for diagnostic procedures, sterilization by low-temperature hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization is recommended to avoid false-positive results.
  • Another nucleic acid amplification technique is nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA.
  • Another nucleic acid amplification technique is nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) which uses reverse transcription and T7 RNA polymerase and incorporates two primers to target its cycling scheme.
  • That is to say, the nucleic acid amplification technique is 60,000 x more sensitive than traditional measures of infectious virus.
  • Nucleic acid amplification techniques have revolutionised diagnostic and research industries.
  • The implementation of mandatory nucleic acid amplification technique (NAT) testing for hepatitis C virus (HCV) in 1999 has markedly improved transfusion safety.
  • The power of a nucleic acid amplification technique is that it can amplify a specific sequence and do so in a predictable manner so that the number of molecules in the initial sample can be quantified.
  • PCR is a nucleic acid amplification technique.
