Abstract
In conclusion, the developed VDET is rapid, specific, yet sensitive to detect venoms of offending snake species, and its venom concentration down to 1.0Â ng/ml. However, the device observed with lowest venom concentration detection ability in the range <1.0Â ng/ml from experimentally envenomated samples. The implementation of VDET will help in avoiding unnecessary usage and adverse reactions of snake antivenin. The test has all the merits to become a choice of method in envenomation diagnosis from medically important snakes of India.
