Bio-Rad Launches Next Generation Antigen-based Kit
Bio-Rad India, a 100 per cent subsidiary of Bio-Rad Laboratories USA, recently announced the launch of new ULTRA test kits for HIV and Hepatitis B & C virus for the first time in the Indian market. These kits have been developed by Bio-Rad in association with the renowned Pasteur Institute of France.
"Presently, it takes approximately 20-25 days for detection of antibody in HIV and approximately 45-60 days for HCV. This time period shall be reduced to 8-10 days by detecting both antigen and antibody for HIV and 4-10 days for HCV," said Dhiren Wagle, Country Manager for Bio-Rad India. He further added "Earlier detection by both antigen and antibody will reduce the window period and shall help doctors at blood banks be able to provide safer blood."
The HIV and Hepatitis test kits shall be marketed under the brand name of Genscreen HIV ULTRA Ag-Ab, HBsAg Ultra and Monolisa HCV ULTRA Ag-Ab respectively. The new generation kit is most advanced in its segment because of its antigen detection ability.
