It is the only Molecular Transport Medium to be manufactured in India, that competes with sample stabilization and transporting media, such as Paxgene from Qiagen, RNALater from Thermofisher, Zymo Sample Collection Kits, UTM from BD Biosciences.<\/p>\n<p> About the launch Prof, B Gurumurthy, CEO, SID said, \u201cWith a Global Supply chain crunch limiting accessibility to materials for molecular diagnostics, especially in the area if research, There is now an increasing need for India to be able to domestically manufacture them. While most high quality storage\/transport media for biological samples in India are manufactured abroad, we are proud to say that home-grown Azooka Labs is stepping in to fill in that gap, and meet the demand.\u201d   \u201cIndia needs to move to molecular tests (PCR\/RT PCR Test) but the sample collection kits out currently are not molecular grade. They generally tend to be cheap nutrient based media with significant potential for contamination. RNA WRAPR is the kind of Molecular grade sample collection medium that India needs right now,\u201d said Alex Paul, Co-founder and CEO, Azooka Labs.<\/p>\n<p> With market deployment of the COVID-19 Diagnostic Series and Research Use Only product series, iLabKart Technologies will be its Authorized Partner for the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. Azooka is expanding its partner network across the APAC regions and rolling out easy payment options via Credit Card or UPI. As an Azooka Distributor for the past year, iLabKart Technologies will be clocking One Million Units of Azooka products by Q1, 2022.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content_5\" id=\"trade-53292537\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- in_content_2_news -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7925020301\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p> As the sales partner of Azooka, iLabkart has sold more than 7 lakh units of RNA WRAPR to RV Metropolis Labs.Azooka has been the only COVID collection medium provider that has recorded zero contamination cases.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cWe are proud to be associated with Azooka and we look forward to reaching out to each and every lab, hospital and institute with this world-class product,\u201d said Prakash Dhirwani, CEO, iLabkart Technologies Pvt.
