Speaking on this occasion,Prof. V Ramgopal Rao,Director, IIT Delhi said, "IITDelhi had in July 2020launched a Rs. 399 RT PCR kit,which helped bring the RTPCRtest costs to the current level.Using the technologiesdeveloped in the Institute,over 8 Million PPE kits havebeen supplied so far. With thelaunch of this Antigen basedrapid test kit, we hope to makethe diagnostics easy andaffordable for the rural areas." Prof. Harpal Singhmentioned the salient featuresof the technology, as certifiedby the ICMR.This kit is used for in vitroqualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen.

The SARS-CoV-2 Ag RapidTest is a colloidal goldenhanced double antibodysandwich immunoassay for thequalitative determination ofSARS-CoV-2 antigen in humannasal swabs, throat swabs anddeep sputum samples. It issuitable for general populationscreening and diagnosis ofCOVID-19. The invention is directedtowards an in vitro diagnostickit for qualitative detection ofSARS-CoV-2 coronavirusantigens in nasopharyngealswab, using the rapid immunechromatographic method.

The identification is based

on the monoclonal antibodiesspecific for the Coronavirusantigen.

The results obtained arequalitative based and can beinferred visually with nakedeye.

SARS-CoV-2 positivespecimen produces a distinctcolor band in the test region,formed by the specificantibody antigen coloredconjugate complex"(Au-SARS-CoV-2-Ab)-(SARS-CoV-2-Ag)-(SARS-CoV-2-Ab)". Absence ofthis colored band in the testregion suggests a negativeresult. A colored band alwaysappears in the control regionserving as procedural controlregardless of the specimencontains SARS-CoV-2 or not.

Test is found to be suitablefor early Ct values (Ct valuesbetween 14 to 32) with aSensitivity- 90%, Specificity-100% and Accuracy- 98.99%, andcertified by the ICMR. These arethe one of the best availablevalues for any such test kits.

The technology and itsmanufacturing are 100%indigenous.
