IIT Delhi, Wells Fargo sign MoU for home-based Covid-19 testing kit

The peptide-based ELISA test determines whether or not a person possesses antibodies for Covid-19 in the blood, and can help the medical fraternity fight the disease in many ways

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and Wells Fargo have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for development of a peptide-based ELISA test for the detection of Covid-19 antibodies.
