16 companies set to sell COVID-19 test kits in India,7 of them are Chinese companies
Recently the government had allowed two private companies - Indian company MyLab and German firm Altona Diagnostics - to supply COVID-19 test kits to both government as well as private testing laboratories in India
March 27, 2020 | 22:17 IST

Two South Korean firms, Seegene and SD Biosensor have received government approval to supply RT-PCR based Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) diagnostic kits in India. The government also approved 12 rapid antibody test kits for COVID-19 diagnosis. Seven of them are Chinese companies. Overall, 16 companies can now market their test kits in the country.

The advantage of antibody rapid tests is that the result can be made available within 30 minutes. The test comes positive after 7 to 10 days of infection. While positive test indicates exposure to COVID-19, negative does not rule out the infection.

The approvals for antibody based rapid kits were granted to BioMednomics (USA), Getein Biotech (China), Sensing Self Ltd (Singapore), Hangzhou Biotest Biotech (China), AmonMed Biotechnology Co (China), Beijing Tigsun Diagnostics Co Ltd (China), Biomaxima (Poland), CTK Biotech (USA), Hunan Lituo Biotechnology Co (China), Vivacheck Lab (China) and Wondfo (China).

Currently the RT-PCR probes for diagnosis of COVID-19 are procured from the USA and supplied to government testing laboratories across the country. Recently the government had allowed two private companies - Indian company MyLab and German firm Altona Diagnostics - to supply COVID-19 test kits to both government as well as private testing laboratories in India.

Thirteen kits have failed to clear the validation requirement of Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and may have to try again for marketing approval for their test kits in India.

Mindless cheerleaders. Obviously Chinese would have test kits ready since they are the founders of this virus. They had the most experience with all of this. In 3 months, none of these companies will be in the market except for Indian.

What do we have to be grateful for? We are not mindless idiots to say thank you China for exporting this chinese virus. Can anyone be?

Pakistanis would do anything to avoid antagonizing iron brother. Even go as far as thanking them for selling equipment to deal with the virus that they created in the first place. If they don't, what do you think will happen to CPEC? China is one of the few countries that invest in Pakistan, so Pakistanis have to toe the line and please them with their subservience and sycophancy and speak in soft hushed voices when Chinese are around, else the master might get displeased and pull the plug on their economic ventilators. From a Pakistani's perspective, it is still profit - They got like a hundred billion from China, but they will have to spend 10-20 billion to tackle the virus, so they have a lot to be thankful, but the problem with them is that they think everyone is in the same boat as them .They think India, Africa, Europe, all are surviving on Chinese aid and investment, so they also expect us to show sycophancy and speak in hushed voices too. That is really cute i think

Anyway India is preparing to make testing protocols more aggressive.

Especially on what to do & where to focus after the Lock down.

So far early targeting/airlifting/isolation & surveillance seems to have worked - There is only a 2 %positive cases per 100 tests.

Coronavirus: The woman behind India's first testing kit

On Thursday, the first made-in-India coronavirus testing kits reached the market, raising hopes of an increase in screening of patients with flu symptoms to confirm or rule out the Covid-19 infection.

The molecular diagnostic company, which also makes testing kits for HIV and Hepatitis B and C, and other diseases, says it can supply up to 100,000 Covid-19 testing kits a week and can produce up to 200,000 if needed.

Each Mylab kit can test 100 samples and costs 1,200 rupees ($16; £13) - that's about a quarter of the 4,500 rupees that India pays to import Covid-19 testing kits from abroad.

And the scientist was battling with her own deadline too. Last week she gave birth to a baby girl - and only began work on the programme in February, just days after leaving hospital with a pregnancy complication.

"It was an emergency, so I took this on as a challenge. I have to serve my nation," she says, adding that her team of 10 worked "very hard" to make the project a success.
