OU Professor develops Vitamin D test kit

Hyderabad: Dr P Muralidhar Reddy, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry, Osmania University, developed a new rapid detection test kit for Vitamin D that would cost Rs 50 per person and gives results in just nine minutes.

Adopting the ‘Rapid sensitive Advanced Mass Spectrometry Detection method’, Dr Reddy worked on the test under the supervision of Prof Dr Anren Hu, Suchi Medical University, Taiwan, to develop the test kit. The test has been clinically approved and would shortly enter the market, a press release said.

Vitamin D is vital for human beings and any deficiency leads to weakness of bones. Early morning sunlight is said to be a major source of Vitamin D and several people expose themselves to these sun rays to harness Vitamin D. It has been confirmed that Covid patients invariably had low vitamin D levels and they were given injection doses, tablets or sachets.

Dr Muralidhar said the low cost of testing and the shortest possible time for results comes as a boon to the common man as the test cost was not affordable. The earlier detection test, ‘Chemiluminiscent Immuno- Assay’ was developed and marketed at Rs 500 to Rs 800 per person in private testing centers and takes 35 minutes for results.
