Brief Description
Description : | Viral Transport Medium (VTM) is a serious limitation in collecting and transporting COVID-19 samples. One component of VTM (veal infusion broth) is imported which is the reason for the limitation. Therefore, CSIR-IICT developed two saline-based solutions which are under evaluation at Gandhi Hospital, Hyderabad. |
