Hyderabad: Hyderabad-based Mapmygenome India gave 1,00,000 Covid test kits to the Telangana government. This is part of their initiative with Zymo Research to donate one million kits to India.

The team is working with other State governments to facilitate the distribution in all major States of India. These kits include the new DNA/RNA Shield – DirectDetect reagent and collection devices. With this kit, sample handling is safer and testing time is much lower.

The DNA/RNA Shield – DirectDetect testing kit contains the DNA/RNA Shield – DirectDetect reagent with swab collection devices. The reagent safeguards viral RNA from degradation for safe, ambient temperature collection and transportation of samples without the need for nucleic acid extraction.

Removing the nucleic acid extraction step reduces the time to get PCR test results. Compared against other reagents, DNA/RNA Shield – DirectDetect does not inhibit downstream RT-PCR.

“DNA/RNA Shield – DirectDetect enables countries seeing an increase in Covid-19 cases to perform Covid-19 testing without extraction, therefore removing the barrier of limited extraction resources. It’s our way of providing humanitarian support to people in need,” said Dr Marc Van Eden, vice president of Business Development at Zymo Research. “We teamed up with Mapmygenome because of their ability to rapidly deploy and facilitate RT-PCR testing.”

Anu Acharya, CEO of Mapmygenome said, “Mapmygenome has always been at the forefront of the fight against Covid, in terms of testing and prevention. Our partnership with Zymo Research has an important role to play in this journey.”
