Argentina has taken a big step forward in detecting dengue fever. Approved by the National Medical Products Administration (Anmat) Kit detection-AR dengue fever This allows to build Infect from anyone Four serotypes of the virus.
Detect-AR Dengue Fever Kit is Developed in a molecular virology laboratory Mentored by Conicet Fellow Andrea Gamarnik of the Leloir Institute Foundation. It will be produced and marketed by Lemos Laboratories.

How the Detect-AR Dengue Kit works:
The National Medical Products Administration (ANMAT) approves the product for marketing Detect-AR Dengue Kit ELISA NS1 Testhe first antigen test used to diagnose the disease Country of Citizenship.
This innovation makes it possible to detect infection with any virus four serotypes by identifying viruses NS1 viral protein Patients in the acute phase of the disease.
Los Antigens allow us to detect whether a person is infected The virus is detected when analyzed, making early diagnosis of dengue possible.
The test is For use by trained personnel in clinical analytical laboratories. this trial production will be responsible for the national company ramos laboratoryand its marketing.
rHappy is obtained in an approximation three hours fork possible Process up to 92 samples At the same time.
What is the importance of Detect-AR Dengue Kit:
Kit detection-AR dengue fever eager Solve the problem of insufficient investment Before Possible health crises in summer What happens next is like what happened at the beginning of this year. Different from existing methods Viral RNA detection, This test detects the viral antigen NS1 English cheaper and easier measurements as no additional input or complex equipment is required.
Through a collaboration between Conicet, Leloir Institute Foundation, INIS and Lemos Laboratory, these kits are available from Public and private health sectors.
he Price is still being determined But Carlos Buyo, the laboratory’s commercial manager in charge of its sales, assures that it will Cheaper than imported testing. In the first phase there will be a 500 sets in batch size Acceptance of the test in clinical settings is assessed, but the goal is to scale up production and even export.
