Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, announced that it will manufacture its Applied Biosystems MagMAX Dx Prefilled Viral/Pathogen Nucleic Acid Isolation Kits in India for the Indian market. The kit is used to isolate and purify viral RNA and DNA from human saliva, nasopharyngeal and oral pharyngeal swabs, providing a faster, more precise and easier-to-use solution for customers.

The MagMax Dx Prefilled Viral/Pathogen Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit will be manufactured in Thermo Fisher’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bengaluru. The site is currently used to produce CoviPath RT-PCR COVID-19 testing kits for customers in India.
