When a snakebite strikes, every minute counts. Panic often takes over, and guessing whether it is venomous can cost lives.
Now, a simple strip and a drop of blood can give the answer in just two minutes.
Developed by Bhat Biotech India Private Limited in Bengaluru under Dr Shama Bhat, this kit took years of research and has shown 100% accuracy in trials.
Dr Bhat, originally from Kasaragod, has over 35 years of experience in biotechnology and has introduced India to several essential diagnostic kits, including pregnancy and dengue tests.
How the kit works? two drops of blood are placed on the strip. Two lines mean venom is detected, one line means no venom. Quick, clear, and avoids unnecessary anti‑venom.
Soon, it will reach ASHA workers, primary health centres, and ambulances, bringing life-saving certainty straight to the communities that need it most.
