ELISA test becoming new immunity #passport to return to work !

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test detects presence of antibodies developed in body against the virus. The #test can produce results within an hour and cost less than real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests. In Spain, Italy, Germany and several other European countries ELISA test is being done as an “immunity passport” for people to return to work.

Transasia is first Indian company to get ELISA kit approved in country. In May, #ICMR developed the technology for ELISA in National Institute of Virology, Pune, and transferred the technology to Zydus Cadilla for mass production of kits.
