Each mobile lab can process 3,000 test reports per day
SpiceHealth has launched its first mobile testing laboratory in Aurangabad for conducting Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) tests for COVID-19, a statement from the company said.
Speaking about the development, Avani Singh, CEO, SpiceHealth, said, “Aurangabad is the third city in Maharashtra after Mumbai and Nagpur where SpiceHealth has set up its RT-PCR mobile testing laboratory. We will soon have one in Nashik too. In addition to the quick deployment of vaccines, it remains equally imperative that we continue large-scale testing to quickly identify, isolate and treat those infected and beat the second wave of the pandemic. SpiceHealth is working relentlessly to expand its reach into the most affected areas of the country and help India fight the disease as quickly as possible.”
Since its launch in November 2020, SpiceHealth has conducted over 2.5 million RT-PCR tests. All SpiceHealth laboratories are accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), and each lab can conduct 3,000 tests per day, claimed the statement.
Aurangabad has been battling with the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. With new additions each day, the total caseload in the city has surged past 1.38 lakh.
