Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) has started manufacturing Covid-19 rapid test kits to ease the testing burden at the State’s facilities.

KEMRI, which is leading in sampling Covid-19 cases, has had a production unit for some years. It has been operating on a need-basis production of hand sanitisers, diagnostic testing kits, and other products for the region but now with Covid-19 the need is much higher.

The move is part of the government effort to start working on factors that will facilitate mass testing for its residents.

The rapid testing kits to facilitate the need to conduct as many tests in a day as possible is underway.
It is a simple kit just like the others that are used in HIV testing, with three unilateral lines that will check for any SARS-like virus.

How it works

While conducting the test, a sample of the swab is put on the rapid testing kit to allow it to pass through the membranes. If it goes to one line it shows one is negative, but if it ends up with several lines then there's a likelihood that one has the virus.

Once a swab is taken from an individual whether positive or not, it is transported to the testing centre via a virus transport media.

This is a liquid medium that kills all the other antigens living the Covid-19 virus. The virus transport medium is manufactured at KEMRI of which 20,000 litres are made per day. Each sample of the swab requires about 2-3 millimetres of the virus transport medium.

Once a sample is taken to the lab, the DNA of the virus is extracted to identify if it is Covid-19. The process requires a lot of manual work that is why a rapid testing kit can change the game during this pandemic.

It takes about three to 15 minutes to get the results on the rapid testing kits, they are portable and can readily and easily be taken to fields unlike the big machines in the labs.

The kits are also easy to use which makes it friendly for people who need privacy since one can test from the convenience of their houses.

The big machines that are currently in use in various laboratories across the country are known as Polymerase Chain Reaction machines (PCR).

They take longer, about 3 hours, while some take about an hour although it is highly accurate the biggest challenge is collecting samples countrywide to be validated using the PCR machines.
Rapid testing kits might be the solution if the government wants to achieve mass testing in the country.

Upon completion of the production of the first rapid test kits, which is currently underway, the first report will be presented next week.

Aside from the kits, automated machines which are more efficient than the PCR machines are in the country lying still in the laboratories.

The good news is, test reagents from Roche Company that developed Cobus 8800 one of the highly automated machines in the country, will be arriving in the country today at midnight.

The machine will be able to run about 10,000 samples in a day which will be a major boost from the usual manual tests.
Currently, in counties, the gene expert machine is being used which runs about 20 tests in a day. The machine was previously used in running TB and HIV samples.

The country has recorded 158 cases of coronavirus with 6 deaths and four have recovered. The number of those sampled stands at 4, 000 plus which is still low in comparison to countries that conduct mass testing.

Jambo zuri lkn ni vyema zaidi kujibiidisha kutafuta chanjo maana ugonjwa tunajua tayari upo.

Jambo zuri lkn ni vyema zaidi kujibiidisha kutafuta chanjo maana ugonjwa tunajua tayari upo.

Ugonjwa wa kuambukizana lazima ujikite kwenye kupima hata kama unajua upo, ni kama ujiachie kulala na masista du kiholela bila kujali kupima UKIMWI kisa unajua upo.
Hiki kirusi ni vigumu kujua nani anacho, maana kabla aanze kukohoa kohoa au kupandisha homa, siku zinakua zimekwenda nyingi, kila anachokigusa anaacha mbegu. Hivyo bora kupima kwa kwenda mbele, vifaa viwe kote, huku tukizingatia mengine yakiwemo tahadhari zilizotajwa na WHO.
Kirusi chenyewe hakina dawa, ila kwa Waafrika inaonekana hakitupigi chini kama wenzetu wanaokwenda kwa makumi ya eflu, hivyo ukipima na kugundua unacho, tulia ndani, anza mwendo wa malimau na maji moto siku chache unadunda mtaani freshi tu.
Lakini kwa wazee wetu hali inawezakuwa vingine.

Nachomaanisha ni kuwa Afrika tumekuwa hatujihusishi zaidi na kutafuta dawa ama chanjo Hilo la kupima naelewa umuhimu wake..
But nafikiri tukiwekeza nguvu kubwa zaidi ktk kupata chanjo itakuwa vyema zaidi maana kwa hali yetu hata tukipima ni rahisi Sana ugonjwa kusambaa! Lockdown tu zinatushinda so unafikiri hata tukipima na kupima zaidi utajua watu walio na maambukizi ila uwezo wa kuzuia maambukizi kidogo naona tabu.. si lazima kila siku tutegemee dawa toka kwa white people! Ni muda muafaka wa sisi kujitutumua ktk ngazi hii ya kibaiolojia maana tupo hatarini zaidi ya races nyengine kutokana na hali zetu za umaskini.

Duh nimekuja mbio nikajua sasa Kenya wamegundua sawa au kinga Kumbe ni kuongeza idadi? "Tuache kutishana bas"

 

[babayao255]

KAMPUNI ya Emotec, inayomilikiwa na Mtanzania imebuni mfumo wenye uwezo wa kutambua mtu mwenye homa kali ikiwemo muathirika wa virusi vya corona (COVID-19), ndani ya muda mfupi.
Watanzania wabuni kifaa cha kutambua homa kali

Nachomaanisha ni kuwa Afrika tumekuwa hatujihusishi zaidi na kutafuta dawa ama chanjo Hilo la kupima naelewa umuhimu wake..
But nafikiri tukiwekeza nguvu kubwa zaidi ktk kupata chanjo itakuwa vyema zaidi maana kwa hali yetu hata tukipima ni rahisi Sana ugonjwa kusambaa! Lockdown tu zinatushinda so unafikiri hata tukipima na kupima zaidi utajua watu walio na maambukizi ila uwezo wa kuzuia maambukizi kidogo naona tabu.. si lazima kila siku tutegemee dawa toka kwa white people! Ni muda muafaka wa sisi kujitutumua ktk ngazi hii ya kibaiolojia maana tupo hatarini zaidi ya races nyengine kutokana na hali zetu za umaskini.

Uko sahihi kwenye hilo la kwmba nguvu nyingi itumike kwenye kutafuta kinga, ila fahamu pia kupata kinga ya kirusi sio kazi rahisi kihivyo maana inafahamika huwa kinabadilisha umbo kwa kila aina ya binadamu, na ndio maana miaka yote hii dunia imeshindwa kupata chanjo ya HIV, hata chanjo dhidi ya mafua imeshindikana duniani maana ni kirusi kisichotumia umbo moja.

Kirusi hufa chenyewe kwenye mwili wa binadamu, huwa hakina dawa, hivyo muhimu kutafuta namna ya kuvumilia matatizo kitakachokusababishia kama vile homa kupanda, maumivu ya kichwa na mengine, ukifaulu kwa wiki mbili hadi tatu kitakufa chenyewe.
Sema ni muhimu kugundua unacho ili uzuie kisifike kwenye mapafu, wengi ambao wamepona kwa kasi walikigundua mapema wakaanza kunywa maji ya moto yenye limau. Yaani baada ya kila dakika 15 kunywa maji ya moto kikiwa baado kooni, unakimaliza hapo hapo kabla hakjashuka ndani zaidi maana kikienda kwenye mapafu ndipo unaskia watu wengi haswa wazee wanaaga dunia.
Hvyo kwa Kenya kutengeneza vifaa vya kupima tena kwa wingi, itasaidia sana.

Wanacook data ili waonewe huruma..ukiwa na mafua Kenya utaambiwa una Covid 19. Ata Kama ni mafua ya kawaida.

Kweli kabisa.

The one positive thing that will come out of this is that our scientists will gain alot of experience in Dna extraction of the virus and mass testing. The government is also forced to invest in these machines because the stupidity of taking everything to South Africa has to stop. Let our own brilliant scientists do the testing.
