China develops portable test kits to help fight Ebola virus
Print Edition
A health researcher said yesterday that China has successfully produced portable kits to help with Ebola testing.
The kits use a diagnostic method based on viral RNA detection. They will be easier to use compared to lab testing, according to Li Dexin, a research fellow of the National Institute For Viral Disease Control and Prevention under the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Chinese researchers have worked with the France-based Pasteur Institute and conducted tests on the product.
China has the ability to test for Ebola through viral RNA, antigen and antibody detection methods. A Chinese laboratory team left for Sierra Leone on Tuesday to help medics in West African countries battle the Ebola epidemic.
