Covid-19, the new coronavirus, is on the verge of spreading across the world. Large clusters of cases are emerging outside China and new cases are springing out daily in our country. Coronaviruses (Covid-19) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans.
More than any recent pandemic, the coronavirus poses new global challenges, and amid the outbreak the best measure is to test symptomatic patients to prevent or slow the spread of the virus, as currently there is no vaccine available to combat Covid.
As part of our endless and continued commitment in working towards a common goal to serve the community better with accurate and quick detection and looking at nationwide and international emergency we have developed a kit for early detection of Corona Virus.
Currently, most pandemic-prone diseases, including coronavirus, are diagnosed accurately by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) only, a molecular technique that is the gold standard in diagnostics, and is also recommended by CDC. Our PathoDetectTM Covid-19 detection kit has been developed and deployed implementing a robust diagnostic methodology for use in public health laboratory settings for the screening and detection of Covid-19. We have designed a validated diagnostic workflow for the same.
The workflow reliably detects Covid-19, and further discriminates Covid-19 simultaneously within 2.5 hours compared to 7 hours+ required by other protocols
What makes Mylab a perfect choice is the power of certainty; providing insights, support, expertise, services, and solutions with an indispensable share to propel the quick and accurate detection of Covid-19, in this event of this national emergency. As a leader in high end diagnostic solution we believe it is our duty to be in forefront for outbreak control and clinical management.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.
