Bhopal: The number of corona patients is increasing continuously in Madhya Pradesh. Corona Warriors are doing everything possible to avoid this virus. At the same time, to make the examination of the corona positive patient, the medical student of Indore has claimed to have developed a technique (model) of 'pool test'. In this related research paper it has been said that in this technique two parts of each sample should be taken. One part should be kept safe and the other mixed with all the samples in that area. Now samples of the mixture should be examined. If this test report comes positive then the patient can be reached easily by checking the samples kept separately one by one. If the mix sample report becomes negative then the scope of investigation will be limited. Medical student Aditi Singhal says that it will be possible to investigate corona on a large scale. It has also been sent to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for approval.

According to the research paper, this technique can be applied only in the PCR machine. In this, a questionnaire on the population being collected by an app like 'Arogya Setu' or a list of international and interstate travel history or samples of people exposed to positive patients can be collected with the help of Telecom Service Provider. Aditi Singhal, a medical student from Indore, says that this will put us in less number of kits and it will be easier to test more people. This process will be effective in those areas where the infection is less or there are more infected areas.

For information, let us tell you that Aditi Singhal, a student of Index Medical College, Indore, and Raghav Singh of IIT Kharagpur have prepared a research paper for pool test. According to Aditi, a large number of samples collected in the affected areas are obtained by pool testing using short time and less testing kits to get the list of infected and non-infected persons, then it will help us to treat infected persons as soon as possible, lockdown Opening will prove useful for delimiting the zone and delimiting the infected zone. Bhopal senior Dr. Ramesh Madhav says that pool test is possible but the results will depend on the sensitivity of the testing kit.
