Set up of RT PCR for the Society for the Rehabilitation of Crippled Children


Apcotex helped set up an in-house RT-PCR Laboratory at the Society for the Rehabilitation of Crippled Childrens (SRCC) Hospital. 

RT-PCR is one of the widely used laboratory methods for detecting the Covid-19 virus. An in-house RT-PCR lab would help in early diagnosis/ reporting of the Covid-19 virus rather than one whole day taken by outside lab. This would ensure timely admission to Hospital and treatment of the young patients

In addition to carrying out the RT-PCR test for Covid-19, the instruments can also be used for conducting the CMV Adenovirus, EBV (qualitative & quantitative) tests.
