Zydus to manufacture “COVID KAVACH ELISA” – the first indigenously developed IgG ELISA test for antibody detection by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)‐National Institute of Virology (NIV) at Pune With diagnostic kits for testing COVID 19 being the need of the hour, Zydus Cadila welcomes the development of indigenous IgG ELISA test for antibody detection by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)‐National Institute of Virology (NIV) at Pune. The kits will be manufactured through a tech transfer by Cadila Healthcare Ltd., at Moraiya Ahmedabad.
ICMR‐NIV, Pune has successfully developed an indigenous IgG ELISA test for antibody detection for COVID‐19. The test was validated at two sites in Mumbai and has been found to have high sensitivity and specificity. In addition, the test will have the advantage of testing 90 samples together in a single run of 2.5 hours. Moreover, ELISA based testing is easily possible even at district level. After development at ICMR‐NIV, Pune, technology has been transferred to Zydus Cadila for mass scale production. The test is named as “COVID KAVACH ELISA”.
