TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior academic official said that Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran has manufactured 40 products in nationwide campaign against coronavirus.
“429 essays and 40 products in area of fighting against coronavirus have been produced,” Deputy Head of the University for Research Affairs Afshin Zarqi said on Tuesday.
He added that 105 knowledge-based companies are stationed in the University, noting that 153 products, including the anti-coronavirus products, medicine and test kits, have been produced by them.
Zarqi also said that the University has ranked first in Iran in the field of technology.
Iran has been highly praised for its robust response to the coronavirus disease as many governments and organizations keep castigating the US for its refusal to lift illegal sanctions to let the country access medical supplies and vital equipment needed to confront the virus.
Iranian scientists at Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute produced two types of ELISA COVID-19 serum detection kits.
The researchers designed and developed two IgM, IgA, and IgG class antibody tracking ELISA kits to detect coronavirus (SARS-COV-2) in a safer and more sensitive way than serological methods.
Rouhollah Keshavarz, the designer and producer of the kits, said on Saturday that the S-specific antigen and the special formulation of the solutions are special features of these two kits.
He added that the two kits make it easy for the laboratory expert to perform the test and also use of class A antibodies along with class G antibodies has increased the sensitivity of these kits.
