Jamia Develops COVID-19 Testing Kit 'MI-SEHAT' To Detect Virus From Saliva

Jamia Millia Islamia researchers, in collaboration with experts from other Institutes, have developed a saliva-based Covid-19 testing kit. The RNA extraction free, mobile-enabled technique will provide results in an hour. Abbreviated as MI-SEHAT (Mobile Integrated Sensitive Estimation and High-specificity Application for Testing), this can be used for outdoor and home-testing, and is user-friendly. Jamia VC Nazma Akhtar said the machine will restrict movements of COVID-19 patients and encourage home testing.
