PMC to increase testing capacity
PMC will increase its testing capacity even further as Sassoon has got an automatic RNA (ribonucleic acid) extractor which will reduce testing time for each slot from hours to a few minutes.
Currently, the city’s testing capacity stands at around 5400, including Sassoon, NIV, IISER and private laboratories. There are 14 private and government labs in the city which totally have a testing capacity of at least 5,400 tests per day. Dr Ramchandra Hankare, chief health officer, PMC, said, “Sassoon’s current capacity is at least 100 samples per day for PMC which will go to 200 and IISER will go up to 150 from current 100. Testing is done as per ICMR protocols.”
