Chitra GeneLAMP-N and Chitra Magna: Indigenous Technologies to Fight COVID-19
Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, an Institute of National Importance under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), has developed Chitra GeneLAMP-N, a diagnostic test kit and Chitra Magna, an innovative RNA extraction kit to carry out detection of COVID-19.
Chitra GeneLAMP-N
- The kit enables confirmatory diagnostic test, detecting the N gene of SARS-COV-2 using reverse transcriptase loop-mediated amplification of viral nucleic acid (RT-LAMP). Development of the kit was funded by DST.
- The kit is highly specific and can detect two regions of the N gene which will ensure that the test does not fail even if ....
