Rt Pcr Kit News Today

Locally Developed PCR Test KIT: A team of local researchers have developed a low-cost RT-PCR kit that they say is capable of detecting coronavirus infection in the human body more accurately and even before any symptoms arise.

BioGenex Life Sciences Pvt Ltd. has developed a RT-PCR kit for Covid-19 diagnosis, which detects COVID 19 caused by SARS COV 2 variants including “OMICRON” plus other variants. The kit detects Omicron variant in half the time than standard RT-PCR test.

The kit can detect all variants of COVID-19

Highlights The new kit is based on multiplex Taqman chemistry, amplifying all three genes in a single reaction. The amplification time for the assay is 45 minutes, apart from the time required for the RNA isolation from nasopharyngeal swab samples. New Delhi: Amid the second wave of coronavirus in India, the Centre has come up with a new RT-PCR kit to strengthen the countrys fight against COVID-19.  The new multiplex RT-PCR kit will help in detecting SARS-CoV-2 mutations and is developed by S...
