In a conversation with The Indian Express, Dr. Chandrasekhar Nair of Molbio Diagnostics shared details on India’s first home-grown HPV test kit, validated through a large multi-centre study. Designed for use on the TrueNat platform, the kit detects eight high-risk HPV strains and delivers results in under an hour. Portable, cost-effective, and operable without electricity, the test aims to make cervical cancer screening more accessible, especially in underserved regions.
