TDB approves financial support to MyLab Discovery Solutions for ramping up production of COVID-19 diagnostic kits

The Technology Development Board (TDB) has approved financial support to MyLab Discovery Solutions, Pune, for ramping up the production of COVID-19 diagnostic kits. Mylab Discovery Solutions is the first indigenous company to develop a real-time PCR-based molecular diagnostic kit which screens and detects COVID-19 from samples. The support from TDB will ensure ramp-up in the production of the kits through automation of the facility. This aid is supposed to increase the capacity to one lakh tests per day from the current numbers of thirty thousand. The kit has been approved by ICMR and CDSCO and will be put to use in a short time, considering its urgent requirement. TDB is a statutory body under the Department of Science and Technology.
