What is the Feluda Paper Strip Test for Covid-19 Approved by India and How it Works Explained
News 18Five months after it was developed by two scientists at the Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, the Feluda CRISPR test to detect the presence of Coronavirus has received a nod from the Drug Controller General of India for a commercial launch. The Tata Group, which has signed an agreement with Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, will soon launch the test kit, which is touted to be faster than the Real-Time Reverse Transcription – Polymerase Chain Reaction test. The entire process of the test takes lesser time compared to the rRT-PCR test and also requires less expensive and skilled manpower. The paper strip generates the test result in the form of two lines for a positive and one line in the case of a negative test, akin to a home pregnancy test. The Feluda-CRISPR test does not require the machinery required for a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and the skilled manpower required to use it.
