individuals with or without symptoms and immediate
contacts of confirmed cases as per the ICMR
guidelines.
Portable/Transportable
JSS-GIZ Incubatee
startup, Arogyam Medisoft has developed a
lightweight point of care blood & urine analyser
named HaemurEx. It is a computer vision &
machine learning based optical analyzer
connected to the
cloud. It weighs app. 500
grams & is powered by an in-built battery. The
device can test 25 clinical chemistry
parameters from blood & urine related to
diabetes management, liver, cardiovascular,
and kidney function. The product has been
patented & is CDSCO and CE
certified & has received several national and
international level awards and recognitions. It
has been recently inducted in German cooperation
program for upscaling the technology.
New Delhi based leading
diagnostic company, J Mitra partnered with
HTIC, IIT Madras to develop a point
of care, named iQuant.
It is a lateral flow
immunofluorescence assay test kit reader, that
utilizes a specially designed optics module
to capture the fluorescence created by the
chemical reaction occurring on the test kit and
apply necessary calibration information to convert
the electrical signal to the final result value.
It is useful for the diagnosis of Malaria,
Chikungunya, and also for detection of HIV,
HPV |
HbA1c, Vitamin D, T3, T4,
TSH, Dengue IgM, Dengue IgG, PCT, CRP and Dengue
NS1.
Benchtop
Achira, a
Bengluru based company has developed
ACIX - an
automated, multiplexed, plug-and-play platform
capable of matching clinical lab gold standards.
ACIX is a microfluidics - based
platform that combines a plastic disposable
cartridge containing dry reagents and a portable
reader. This next generation ACIX platform
is capable of accommodating different sample types
(serum and whole blood) and test menus including
the hormone tests & various infectious
panels.
DiaSys India,
Mumbai based company, Diasys
InnovaStar
a fully automatic, compact analyzer
measures glucose, hemoglobin, CRP & HbA1c
estimation as per to DCCT/NGSP
and IFCC guidelines. The underlying
technology and reagents are identical to that used
on clinical laboratory analyzers, ensures results
with reliable precision. Diasys “QDx Malaria
PAN/Pf”- an antigen detection kit based on
Immuno chromatography assay, meeting WHO
requirement, for the detection and differentiation
of P. falciparum from other Plasmodium
species in human blood is highly useful in the
diagnosis of Malaria. Diasys especially
designed multi parameter strips for urinalysis
with unique sequence for 10
parameters,11 parameters
including Micro- albumin,11 parameters
including Albumin Creatinine Ratio are some
of the other POCTs in demand. |
