About the projectDevelopment of a new generation of lyophilized NAAT diagnostic kits for the detection of zoonotic infectionsThe project aims to create and implement diagnostic kits based on nucleic acid amplification technology (NAAT) that are resistant to hot climates. These test systems can effectively detect dangerous zoonotic infections (for example, anthrax, brucellosis, etc.) without the need for refrigeration, which is especially important for regions with limited infrastructure.
Within the framework of the project:
- Technologies and a prototype of a freeze-dried PCR system have been developed that is resistant to transportation and storage at high temperatures.;
- Internal validation tests have been conducted to confirm the high accuracy, sensitivity and reproducibility of the results.;
- Preparations are underway to introduce the product in Uzbekistan and Central Asian countries.;
- international partnerships are developing;
- marketing and export activities have started.
The project is being implemented with the support of the MUNIS Foundation and is aimed at improving biosafety, export potential and diagnostic sustainability in countries at risk of zoonotic outbreaks.
