New Delhi: The rapid detection of COVID-19, being jointly developed by India and Israel and delivering results in less than a minute, is just a matter of days. . Israeli Ambassador to India has given this information. In order to detect Coronavirus infection, under this rapid screening technology, a person will just have to blow a tube and it will result in 30-40-50 seconds. Israeli Ambassador Ron Malka also said that Israel wants India to become a manufacturing center for this rapid test kit and the two countries will also cooperate on developing vaccines for the prevention of the Covid-19 pandemic. As well as India being in a strong role in manufacturing, it matters a lot in its production.
He said that the quick test project of Covid-19 is in its final stage. Malka said, ‘I think it’s just a matter of a few days. According to what I am hearing from the people involved in this process, it does not take more than two to three weeks to finalize a reliable and accurate technology or a combination of more than one of the four different technologies being analyzed. needed.’
New quick investigation to prove decisive: Malka
Indian and Israeli researchers have conducted tests for four different types of technology in India after collecting a large number of samples, including breath testing and voice testing, including the ability to quickly detect Covid-19 is. There is also an ‘isothermal’ test, through which the presence of coronavirus in the saliva sample can be identified and a probe using ‘poly-amino acids’, which isolates proteins associated with Covid-19 Does.
Malka told that scientists have told them that dozens of technologies were tested to select these four technologies, which have now gone through different levels according to different demands to reach the final stage. He said, ‘I am optimistic that all the initial circumstances have passed.’ The ambassador said that this new quick investigation is going to prove to be decisive and is a great example of how meaningful cooperation between India and Israel in the field of science and technology can be.

Can be done at airports and other places, under which a person will just have to blow a tube and the results will be available in 30-40-50 seconds. Malka said that apart from this it will also be very cheap in terms of cost as it will yield results at the place of examination and there will be no need to send any samples to the laboratory. When asked about cooperation on the development of vaccines, Malka said that both countries are sharing research and technology.
Malka said, “We think that when a reliable vaccine comes, which will be safe and effective, most of its production will be in India.” The Israeli ambassador thanked the Indian authorities for the help they had sent to the thousands of their nationals trapped in India after the outbreak of the epidemic. Malka said that due to the epidemic, the subject of health has become an immediate priority area of cooperation between the two countries. He also said that he is working closely with Indus Bhushan, CEO of Ayushman India to find ways of cooperation in the mission.
The Quick Detection Technology is being developed jointly by the Defense Research and Development Directorate of the Ministry of Defense and the Defense Research and Development Organization of India (DRDO), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and Principal Scientific Advisor to India . Its foreign ministry is coordinating this.
