The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has approved the first batch of covid-19 antibody testing kits manufactured by Zydus-Cadila.
The test kits, called “COVID KAVACH ELISA”, was developed at the National Institute of Virology, Pune, by isolating the virus from patients.
The ELISA kits will be used in the Health Ministry’s new nationwide “sero-survey”, meant to detect prevalence of antibodies that appear after a patient has recovered.
