The objective is to transform India’s healthcare scenario by providing cost-effective diagnostic solutions in remote locations and limited-resources settings

J Mitra has launched India’s first portable diagnostic solution – the iQuant immunoassay analyzer in the Indian market. Launched in collaboration with IIT Madras’ HTIC (Healthcare Technology Innovation Centre), this portable is a state-of-the-art FluorescenceImmunoassay Analyzer for quantitative and qualitative determination of bloodtest parameter – that includes TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone), T3(Tri-iodo thyronine), T4 (Thyroxin), Vitamin D, Dengue NS1 Antigen, DengueIgM, Dengue IgG and HbA1c test.

Beta-testing for the product had been going on for the past eight months and has generated tremendous positive response and demand. With this launch, various highly-active and sought-after diagnostic solutions will be available across the country and in the remotest of locations at the fraction of a cost. J Mitra IVD (in-vitro diagnostic) tests manufacturing company exports to more than 45 countries across the globe. J Mitra also holds the maximum number of patents (over 55 patents) in the IVD segment for its innovative and research-based solutions. This adds to the number of diagnostic solutions, which will be available as a software upgrade on the cloud.

Speaking on the occasion, Jatin Mahajan, managing director, J Mitra said, “iQuant is an innovative mix – on the product side, it is a mix of science, IT, healthcare and research, while on the implementation side it is great combination of social conditions, ground realities coupled with business sense”.

He further added, “This is an innovative, path-breaking product that will greatly influence the detection and diagnostic process, which will hasten the treatment and cure process – resulting in a healthier India, in line with government’s healthcare-for-all initiative”. This is a home-grown innovative solution – a ‘completely Made-in-India’ offering. While being the most cost-effective solution available in the market today, what sets it apart is the fact that it is completely portable.It can be carried with ease and has a self-sustaining power supply. It is thus quite suited for Indian conditions, especially for remote and electricity-dark areas.

Performing all these broad variety of tests generally requires more than one instrument in any laboratory, however with iQuant analyzer it is possible to perform all these tests on a single machine. The analyzer is equipped with state of the art fluorescence immunoassay technology and has unique features like use of high-end processors, inbuilt memory that stores up to 1-lacpatients data, ergonomic design, 10-inches color display, bluetooth forwireless printing, wi-fi connectivity for online support, iCloud facilityfor up gradation of software and training, 1-hour battery back-up in case of power failure and very easy portability owing to its light weight of approx.two kgs.

J Mitra is currently offering these Quanti range test kits to be performedon i-Quant analyze. These tests are high volume builders for the laboratories. This FIA technology of i-Quant offers the advantage of ease ofuse of rapid tests and sensitivities far better than other conventional test methods like ELISA. Each test cartridge is precision engineered andassembled through robotic technology. There are no lot specific calibrations required as each kit is embedded with lot specific data on QR codes presenton each test cartridge. J Mitra has launched these kits on advanced FIA (Fluorescence immunoassay) technology with accurate results and at veryaffordable prices.
