A Great Venture to Futuristic Medicine and Diagnosis

IVD CE-approved kits for various newborn screening, infectious, non-infectious diseases and cancer markers based on RT-PCR, ELISA, Rapid cards/POCT, clinical chemistry and CLIA will be manufactured at this facility. Since all the components are made in-house, Trivitron will have the fastest turnaround time in the country. The major focus of this facility will be on the manufacturing of genomics-based kits and reagents. This will include the synthesis of customized primers and probes for RT-PCR-based screening kits, enzymes, master mixes etc.

The centre includes an Advanced Genomics and Molecular diagnostics facility for developing kits and reagents for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Oligonucleotide synthesis (synthesis of customized primers and Taq Man Chemistry dual labelled probes), Protein Chemistry (design and expression of different recombinant enzymes and proteins), Cell culture and analytical lab. The company plans to manufacture all the raw materials and components of molecular diagnostics, NBS, and NGS in-house following advanced protocols and research approaches. 

The new centre of Trivitron will have provision to manufacture 300 million RT-PCR tests and over 70 million tests of Rapid Card/POCT per annum. Additionally, more than 100 million tests can be manufactured for Genomics, ELISA, CLIA, NBS and other diagnostics kits.
