The CSIR-IHBT has given a “Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR)” machine to Tanda medical college (TMC) to strengthen its testing capacity. This technology will help scientists in speeding up the testing process of Covid-19 patients.

Dr Sanjay Kumar, Director of CSIR-IHBT, says that qRT-PCR is a highly sensitive instrument that can detect very minute quantity of viral RNA in the targeted samples. — OC

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
