How to complete the 5 million nucleic acid test in 2 days? Technological innovation and capacity reserves are the key!

On August 10, the National Health Commission issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Organization and Management of Nucleic Acid Testing for All Employees". The "Notice" pointed out that the implementation of nucleic acid testing for all employees is to quickly detect virus-infected persons so that they can be isolated and effectively One of the most important means to cut off transmission and prevent the spread of the epidemic is to implement the "four early" key measures.

The "Notice" requires that after determining the implementation of nucleic acid testing for all employees in various regions, the implementation of nucleic acid testing for all employees shall be organized as soon as possible to ensure that the number of people tested within 5 million will be completed within 2 days, and those with more than 5 million tested will be completed within 3 days. Detection.

How to complete a large-scale nucleic acid test of 5 million copies in 2 days?

Science and technology are primary productive forces!

"Through the practice in the front line of the anti-epidemic in the past two years, we have greatly upgraded the performance of automated equipment. We can immediately respond to anti-epidemic needs in accordance with the latest national requirements, provide emergency plans, and quickly complete nucleic acid testing for large-scale populations. We firmly believe that ,Science and technology are primary productive forces!"

Fully automaticMGISTP-7000 pointsCup handling system

"Take the nucleic acid detection volume of 5 million people in 2 days as an example. According to our calculations, if the 10 mixed 1 detection method is used, a total of 42 automatic MGISTP-7000 cup processing systems and 25 MGISP-NE384 automatic nucleic acid processing systems are required. Extraction and purification instrument, 13 high-throughput automated samplesPreparation systemMGISP-960 works simultaneously."Lin Siyuan introduced.

MGISP-NE384 automatic nucleic acid extraction and purification instrument

High-throughput automated sample preparation system MGISP-960

How do these hard-core technology devices work together? The specific laboratory process is as follows：

1. After the sample is unpacked, after entering the laboratory, it will first go to the MGISTP-7000 automatic cup processing system. This instrument can realize automatic lid opening and closing, and automatic barcode information entry.

2. After processing through the MGISTP-7000 automatic cup processing system, the next stop will be the MGISP-NE384 automatic nucleic acid extraction and purification instrument. This instrument can effectively assist the extraction of virus nucleic acid, and the daily extraction throughput of a single machine is as high as 10,000 cases. Greatly accelerate the laboratory's testing process.

3. Finally, the sample will pass through the high-throughput automated sample preparation system MGISP-960 to efficiently complete the automated PCR system configuration work, and finally output the test results through the PCR machine.
