Syngene ties up with HiMedia Lab to manufacture ELISA test kits for COVID-19

Mumbai, Jun 2 (UNI) Pharma major Syngene International Ltd, an integrated research and development services company, has entered into collaboration with HiMedia Laboratories, a bioscience company with expertise in media manufacturing and diagnostics for over 45 years, to manufacture and distribute its ELISA kits.

To fill this gap, Syngene, with its expertise across diverse scientific domains, has developed an ELISA kit that allows higher throughput and generates faster results. We are happy to tie-up with HiMedia who will make the kits available at a large scale to significantly increase serological testing in India."
