The speciality of this RT-PCR testing kit is 100 per cent concordance to true positives and true negatives. The kits have received approval from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Institute of Virology (NIV), Pune. Both the companies are now jointly working on manufacturing and distribution of the kits across the country. The kits are expected to be available in the market within a few weeks.
