- The CSIR-IIIM & Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is to develop this test for Coronavirus.
- RT-Lamp Test is Reverse Transcriptase-Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification.
- It is a nucleic acid based test carried out from nasal/throat swab sample from patients.
- While the current COVID-19 testing is done by real-time PCR their components are mostly imported.
- Further these tests are expensive; require highly trained manpower.
- On the other hand, the RT-LAMP test can be done in a single tube with minimal expertise in a very basic lab setup.
