With the number of Covid-19 infections set to go up, the country’s acquisition of this new piece of equipment couldn’t be more timely. The machine, referred to as the DNA Technology Real-time thermo-cycler, was acquired by Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) just over two weeks ago. It will speed up the processing of samples ultimately aiding the fight against coronavirus. It is said to have the capacity to process 2,000 samples in a day.
