The kit has received Test License from Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO). Meanwhile, ICMR has validated a low-cost open PCR TB diagnostic kit. Increased availability of low-cost affordable diagnostic kits will help in higher coverage of testing and hence early diagnosis of Tuberculosis (TB). This will enable in detection of additional missing cases.
