Sample collection, pre-processing and inactivation of covid-19 virus to prevent infection spread is a crucial step in covid-19 testing. The labile nature of viral nucleic acid necessitates that the integrity of sample be preserved with efficient and stable transport / preservative medium. Demyhealth’s sample collection kit not only preserves the sample but also renders the […]
Our attention has been drawn to the sudden upsurge in demand of PCR “thermal cylers” for #covid19testing. As an exclusive distributor of these equipment in Nigeria, we have received a number of requests to supply as much as 9 to 15 units of PCR at less than 3 million naira per unit. It is indicative […]
Presently, the confirmatory diagnosis for COVID-19 is by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which typically takes several hours and requires a molecular laboratory to perform. Also, the limited availability of COVID-19 testing for communities far away from central laboratories, the need for mobile laboratories and point of care (POC) solutions becomes pertinent. Consequently, […]
CHOOSING A REAL TIME PCR PLATFORMS FOR COVID-19 TESTING As the scourge of the coronavirus outbreak intensifies, Nigeria is responding through the rapid setting up of Covid-19 testing centers across the country. Questions about the suitable equipment, kits and consumables have also come to the fore. As a trailblazer in molecular diagnostics, DemyHealth proffers […]
The Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) is doing a good job tackling the scourge of COVID-19 in Nigeria. However, we are obligated to call them out when their practices counter recommended Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. An NCDC official involved in accrediting centers for COVID-19 testing is imposing on existing molecular […]
