New Delhi: In a major breakthrough, drugmaker Zydus Cadila has received validation from the National Institute of Virology (NIV), Pune for the first batch of indigenous anti-SARS-CoV-2A (Covid-19) human IgG ELISA test kit for antibody detection of the lethal virus.

As per the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), ELISA Kit has a similar sensitivity of 98.7 percent and specificity of 100 percent. The kit is cost-effective, sensitive, rapid and a large number of samples can be tested at any level of a clinical setting, including public health centers and hospitals.

This comes days after the development of the technology at ICMR-NIV. The technology has been transferred to Zydus Cadila for mass production. Union Health Minister, Dr Harsh Vardhan confirmed the same through his social handle as;

#ELISA based testing is easily possible even at district level. The @icmr_niv technology has been transferred to #Zydus #Cadila for mass-scale production.
