The lab is expected to be deployed in rural and inaccessible areas of India and is capable of processing approximately 2,500 samples every day, including RT-PCR tests, rapid antigen tests, CLIA/Elisa antibodies tests IgG and IgM and CLIA/Elisa tests for inflammatory markers like D-Dimer, CRP and IL-6.
Promega has received a CE mark for its Covid-19 antibody test, the Lumit Dx SARS-CoV-2 Immunoassay, which will now be available in Europe. The new bioluminescent immunoassay is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test, which detects antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus in serum.
