All You Need to Know About Covifind

It has been almost two years since the novel coronavirus has taken the world by storm. Unsuspecting people were jolted by the reality of Covid-19 in the most unfortunate way that led to the loss of livelihood and loved ones. Everything from industries to human life to the world economy has been adversely impacted by Covid-19. 

A way to effectively treat the virus stems from the ability to detect it on time. Bilakhia Group’s Meril Life Sciences, a medical device company in Vapi, Gujarat played a key role in easing the detection of the virus by developing Covifind™. 

What is Covifind™?

Covifind™ is a rapid antigen test kit approved by the Indian Council of Medical Research in June 2021. As per the Bilakhia Group’sleadership team, Covifind™ was introduced to increase citizens’ access to Covid testing.

The second wave created havoc in India and there was a dire need to address the nation’s growing screening frequency to slow the spread of the virus. By knowing the infection status the infected could take the required measures to socially distance themselves. Through the rapid antigen test, the need of the hour - detecting the SARS-CoV-2 in time, was met. 

Features of Covifind™

Covifind™ detects the presence of the virus through nasal swab specimens from symptomatic patients as well as those who have been in close contact with the infected. Unlike the previous tests, this rapid antigen test declares quick and accurate results within 15 minutes. The test is not cumbersome and can be performed at home by people above the age of 18.

The test kit consists of an information leaflet, a sterile swab, a test device, a prefilled tube with a cap, and a disposal bag. Available at a nominal price of Rs. 250/- this test is not only affordable but also eases and simplifies the process of early detection, isolation,on-time treatment, and contact tracing which eventually enables the control of this highly transmissible virus.
