SriLankan Cargo clears high-quality RNA extraction kits

14 Oct 2020

By Sarah Hannan SriLankan Cargo last evening (13) cleared the 15,000 magnetic bead RNA extraction kits that were held at the Bandaranaike International Airport Katunayake (BIA) after receiving the letter of authorisation by the Ministry of Health. The Morning contacted the SriLankan Cargo Department Duty Manager to check on the magnetic bead RNA extraction kits that could not be released without the necessary authorisation. “Mere moments ago, we released the consignment to the Ministry of Health officials after the Ministry of Health submitted the necessary clearance forms to our Department,” the SriLankan Cargo Department Duty Manager explained. Yesterday (13), our sister paper Aruna reported that the airport authorities were unable to release a consignment of 15,000 magnetic bead RNA extraction kits imported by the International Organisation for Migration due to delays by the Ministry of Health in submitting the relevant papers. It was further revealed that the magnetic bead RNA extraction kits could complete PCR tests in about 18 minutes.
