Nahan hospital gets second RT-PCR machine
Solan, June 4
In a bid to ramp up testing, the second RT-PCR machine was installed at the Covid laboratory of Dr YS Parmar Government Medical College at Nahan in Sirmaur district today.
“The installation of this machine will double the capacity of testing samples from 94 to 188 per run. One run takes about two hours and the machine runs for almost 14 hours a day,” said Deputy Commissioner, Sirmaur, Dr RK Pruthi. As many as 1.20 lakh samples have been tested in the college’s Covid laboratory since its inception on June 10 last year. The samples were earlier sent to the Kasauli-based Central Research Institute’s laboratory. — TNS
