Aligning with the call of WHO, the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, CCMB is working overtime on the development of cost-effective and accurate diagnostic kits for wide distribution.
CCMB may come up with some good kits and it may take at least 2-3 weeks if everything goes well.
The organisation is also keeping in mind the cost and the estimate is that the test should be less than one thousand rupees.
The Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology (CCMB) is a premier research organization in frontier areas of modern biology.
