Brief Description
Description : | Researchers have come up with an indigenous testing kit based on CRISPR technology. Designed a paper strip-based testing assay and is very low cost, can detect the viral RNA of the SARS-Cov-2 which can detect the virus within an hour. The method is very adaptable and cost effective. The test does not need dedicated machinery or specialised skill. |
