NEW DELHI: The number of rapid RT-PCR machines at the Delhi airport will be increased from 160 to 200 within the next few days, said the company that operates the Covid-19 testing facility for flyers from “at-risk” countries.
The number of employees deployed at the IGIA laboratory will also be increased from 600 to 750, Gauri Agarwal, founder and director of Genestrings Diagnostics, said on Wednesday. “Looking at the current situation, we... decided to augment and nearly double our capacity for rapid PCR. We went ahead with Abbott ID NOW since they are the only one with an EU point-of-care testing approval and happen to be the fastest at only 11 minutes per test result,” she added.
