Researchers at IIT-Kharagpur have developed a portable device that can detect Covid-19 within an hour. The cost of one test will be around Rs 400

The entire rapid test can be conducted in an ultra-low-cost portable device with the test results being available on a customized smartphone application.

Also, the device has been proven to produce no false result with remarkable accuracy and sensitivity compatible to standard RT-PCR tests

The same portable unit can be used for a large number of tests on mere replacement of the paper cartridge after each test.
