Testing is crucial to beat #COVID19!

Stepping up efforts in this regard, @IITGuwahati, in association with RR Animal Healthcare Ltd & Guwahati Medical College & Hospital, has developed low-cost diagnostic kits.
@IndiaDST @ICMRDELHI #AatmanirbharBharat
The swabs have been designed ergonomically with a pre-moulded breakpoint on their shaft for enabling secure sampling.

@IndiaDST @IITGuwahati @ICMRDELHI #AatmanirbharBharat
These are Viral Transport Media (VTM) kits, RT-PCR kits & RNA isolation kits. The VTM kits are the first-stop source used to collect nasal & oral swab specimens from an individual source to a laboratory safely for culture and testing.
@IndiaDST @IITGuwahati #AatmanirbharBharat
These sterile VTM kits comply with the CDC-recommended configurations for viral specimen collection for #COVID19 and are packed in user-friendly individual packs

This robust test will play a critical role in surveillance of proportion of population exposed to #SARSCoV2 infection
This kit was validated at 2 sites in Mumbai & has high sensitivity & accuracy. Besides,it has the advantage of testing 90 samples together in a single run of 2.5 hours, so that healthcare professionals can proceed quickly with necessary next steps on their patients’ triage paths.
#ELISA based testing is easily possible even at district level. The @icmr_niv technology has been transferred to #Zydus #Cadila for mass-scale production.
The Drug Controller General has granted commercial production & marketing permission to Zydus. #COVID19Updates #SARS_CoV_2
