NEW DELHI: Pune-based MyLab Discovery Solutions has expanded its capacity to produce 200,000 reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction or RT-PCR tests kits per day.
The company said it will soon produce enough kits to reduce India’s dependence on imports amid the covid-19 pandemic. The company is one of the first manufacturers of RT-PCR test kit, which has proven to be the ‘gold standard’ of covid-19 diagnosis. “We have already ramped up.
Right now, we are closing all our backlog. This week we should touch 1 million total supplies of test kits, and next week onwards we will produce almost 1.5 million test kits per week," MyLab managing director Hasmukh Rawal told Mint.
