Quantification of ZIKV infection, using the MIC Real-Time Cycler, on non-treated and treated hamsters with SAB-155 antibody revealed sufficient protection against the virus, even 4.5 days post infection.

A qPCR, using MIC Real-Time Cycler, was used to study the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in feral cats and rabbits on Phillip Island to understand the associated risks for the introduction of the Eastern Barred Bandicoot.

A rapid real-time PCR assays using a Magnetic Induction Cycler (MIC) was established and validated for Brucella. Cerebrospinal fluid were obtained from patients diagnosed with encephalitis and meningitis in Tunisia hospitals between 2012-2017.

The design of a multiplex qPCR assay using MIC has allowed a highly sensitive and specific detection of Fasciola hepatica and its intermediate snail host, Austropeplea tomentosa, in water samples.

After determining the most promising hydrolysate for an anti-atherosclerotic agent using seahorse, a qPCR using MIC was conducted to determine the effects of the hydrolysate on the expression of apoptosis-related genes.

Real time PCR using MIC was used to determine if there is an association between miRNA-320 levels in follicular fluid and embryo quality in IVF-ISCI procedures. The miRNA levels in differing grades of embryo qualities was compared and an association was found with higher grade embryos containing more miRNA-320.

The authors developed a multiplex qPCR for simultaneous detection of three Hookworm species. The ability to quantify results allows this newly developed assay to be used for monitoring and efficacy programs.

The study compared three oral selenium compounds to determine the dose and form that is the most effective and is safe to use as a therapeutic agent in cancer patients. A qPCR was used to determine the genotoxicity of the compounds.
