The Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS), a laboratory of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), has developed an antibody detection-based kit ‘DIPCOVAN’.
The kit is developed indigenously by the DRDO scientists in association with Delhi-based Vanguard Diagnostics Pvt Ltd.
DIPCOVAN is a Covid-19 antibody detection kit.
It will help a person detect if they have previously been exposed to Covid-19 virus and if they have antibodies for it.
Its primary purpose is to detect antibodies.
It will be used in Covid-19 epidemiology studies such as sero-surveys.
You can also use it for detecting if you have Covid antibodies.
