CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI) has developed an indigenous RT-PCR diagnostic kit, ‘Om’, for the testing of the Omicron variant of coronavirus.
It is the first kit made by any government institution, and the third to be made indigenously, for specific testing of Omicron.
Currently, two more such kits developed by private players are available in the market. The kit will give test results in around two hours.
