The device ‘Feluda’ was named after the detective character in legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray’s stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The test was developed by Debojyoti Chakraborty and Souvik Maiti. It is expected that this test will be a simpler way of detecting SARS-coV2 presence in clinical samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The start of the test method is similar to the real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), where the ribonucleic acid (RNA) is extracted and converted into DNA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the newly developed method differs by using a specifically designed PCR reaction to amplify a part of the viral nucleic acid sequence. After this, a highly specific CRISPR, FnCAS9 binds to that sequence which can be visualized as a positive band. CRISPR, FnCAS9 were developed at IGIB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The method uses fluorescent reporters, to amplify and detect viral nucleic acid presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The total time required for the test is less than one hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Implementation of the method requires expensive Real-Time PCR machines that are available at specialized sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Scientists at the CSIR’s Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology have come up with a low-cost coronavirus test that will not require any expensive machines for detection of the pathogen.
