Indian labs discovering new ways for Covid19 mass testing

Satyajit Ray’s ‘Feluda’ will soon detect coronavirus in minutes, thanks to CSIR scientists
Scientists at Delhi’s CSIR-IGIB have developed a paper-based test strip for Covid-19, and named it after the fictional detective created by Satyajit Ray.

     Feluda will now detect if you are infected with Covid-19. Or, to be precise, a new paper-based test strip named after the beloved detective character created by Bengali filmmaker-author Satyajit Ray will soon be able to find the novel coronavirus in just a few minutes.


The ‘Feluda’ test strip has been invented by a team led by two Bengali-origin scientists — Dr Souvik Maiti and Dr Debojyoti Chakraborty — at the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research’s Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB) in New Delhi.



The simple paper-based test strip could also reduce Covid-19 testing costs — the real-time polymerase chain reaction test (RT-PCR) used currently requires machinery worth lakhs of rupees and its price is capped at Rs 4,500 in private labs, but the ‘Feluda’ test could cost as little as Rs 500. It can be used in a way similar to pregnancy test strips widely available over the counter.

“This strip will be similar to a pregnancy test strip, and will not require any specialised skill and machines to perform, as is the case with other PCR-based tests. This strip will just change colour, and can be used in a simple pathological lab. The most important part is it will be 100 per cent accurate.

“Normally, scientists take two to three years to develop this type of kits, but we are among the three or four countries leading the way in developing it, alongside Stanford University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US,” said Mande, head of India’s largest umbrella organisation for scientific research.

Why ‘Feluda’?
Dr Chakraborty of IGIB explained how his team had developed the kit.

“We were experimenting on sickle cell anaemia for the last two years. When Covid-19 cases rose in China, we started to experiment to see how mutations take place in the coronavirus. For the last two months, we have been working 20 hours a day to develop it,” he told ThePrint.

Asked why they named it after Ray’s fictional detective, Chakraborty said: “It will detect the presence of a virus in a just few minutes, like Feluda.”

The team is currently testing the sensitivity of the ‘Feluda’ strip. “Now, we are at a stage where we can say it will be a major breakthrough for testing in a short time. Regulatory validation is in process, and we hope we will be ready for technology transfer in few weeks. We are in touch with several manufacturers for the technology transfer,” Chakraborty said.

Mande added that the strip has been tested on the samples with CSIR, and is now being tested on samples from elsewhere to find out its sensitivity.

CRISPR technology
Mande and Chakraborty said their test kit uses CRISPR gene-editing technology to get results, though the difference to the kits being developed at Stanford and MIT is in the proteins used.

CRISPR technology recognises specific genetic sequences and cuts them in short time. The CRISPR reaction is specific, and can be done in 5-10 minutes. It is a powerful technique that worked in detecting the Zika virus too.

“(Our strip) uses cutting-edge gene-editing CRISPR-CAS-9 technology to target and identify genomic sequence of the novel coronavirus in suspected individuals. No other laboratory in India is developing test kit using CRISPR  technology.

Who was Jagmohan's

Who was Jagmohan's dad was posted as a track engineer in the Indian Railways. From time to time, the family shifted to other stations and lived in numerous railway colonies. At that time, the national freedom movement was gaining ground. But it was soon overtaken by the divisive fall-outs of the 'two nation' theory due to the British policy of 'divide and rule' . All this led to the partition of the country, communal riots and killings and also a large scale migration of people across the dividing line.  Jagmohan himself avoided death by a whisker. In one of his recent books, he recalled the horrible event that he encountered in the night intervening August 14 and 15, 1947: " I stood on the roof of our house in Hafizabad (now in Pakistan) where I got stranded due to the sudden eruption of violent disturbances. I saw the outer portion of the town burning furiously. Huge fires leapt straight towards the dark and cloudy sky. Even the air, frozen by fear, stood sti...
