Odisha begins trial run of OmiSure test kit for fast detection of Omicron

Odisha on Wednesday started trial operation of the ‘OmiSure’ RT-PCR test kit for early detection of the Omicron variant of Covid-19. OmiSure was developed by Tata Medical and Diagnostics Ltd in collaboration with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).

On January 10, Odisha ordered 500,000 ‘OmiSure’ kits, becoming the first state in India to purchase a kit capable of detecting rapidly spreading variants. In the first phase, the state has received 30,000 test kits.

Officials said the OmiSure kit can detect Omicron in nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal specimens during RT-PCR testing. It is compatible with all standard RT-PCR machines.

“Trial runs of the OmiSure kits are underway. It will be used for internal research first, and then these kits will be sent to areas where more cases are being reported,” Bijay Mohapatra, director of the state’s health services, told news agency PTI.
