• The newly built disease diagnostics lab can easily test RT-PCR about 50 per day and ELISA about 200 per day.
• The lab has been built in the recorded time of just 8 days.
It is built with the support of Department of Bio-Technology. The lab is a BSL-2 facility with on site Elisa, real-time reverse tranion polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) test and Bio chemistry analysers. This lab can test Elisa about 200 per day and RTPCR about 50 per day.
