New Delhi: Researchers at IIT Kharagpur have developed a first of its kind portable rapid diagnostic device to detect coronavirus at less than ₹400 per test.According to officials, the test can be conducted in an ultra-low-cost portable enclosure as an alternative to specialized laboratory equipment.
The same portable unit can be used for a large number of tests on mere replacement of the paper cartridge after each test."The device has been proven to produce no false result with remarkable accuracy and sensitivity compatible to standard RT-PCR tests.
