According to ICMR, the upgraded OmiSure RT-PCR test for Covid-19 successfully detects all sub-types of Omicron that are currently prevalent in India
Pfizer and Moderna are also working on vaccines that target the Omicron variant
It provides Covid-19 detection and Omicron surveillance in less than two hours
In-house wet testing with live Omicron virus demonstrated that the Antigen test detects the Omicron variant with comparable sensitivity to other variants
New data from ongoing trial showed increased antibody response against Beta, Delta, Alpha, Gamma and Omicron variants following third dose booster with Vaxzevria
This test analyses samples in VTM directly without the need for RNA extraction step
The study will be published on the pre-print server, medRXiv, shortly
The QuickVue antigen tests are able to detect the live Omicron variant with similar performance as with other variants
The revolutionary new nano coating is easy to apply and rejects liquid-based contagions like COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 and variants, influenzas, and rhinoviruses and is available via ready-to-use sprays or pre-treated air filters
Effectiveness of Covaxin against the Omicron variant is currently being studied
