New Coronavirus pneumonia has achieved a pandemic for more than 20 months, and now that the epidemic is normalized, the New Coronavirus rapid nucleic acid test has also been normalized, and this has put forward requirements for the efficiency of the New Coronavirus rapid nucleic acid test.
In order to meet and conform to these requirements, all major manufacturers have innovated the relevant products and continuously improved the technical process as a way to optimize and iterate the products.
So, in the whole new crown nucleic acid rapid test process, which processes have the help of technology?
In fact, the major manufacturers have optimized each process, and most of the equipment has been automated, eliminating most of the tedious manual operation of the inspectors.
In the sampling link, the general risk of the population to take 10 mixed 1, 5 mixed 1 mixed collection program, to a certain extent, simplify the operation of the sampling staff to replace the preservation tube, speed up the speed of sampling, but also to reduce the number of post-testing and pressure.
In the sample pre-processing link, manufacturers have improved efficiency by introducing automated equipment for the dispensing and processing system. Automatic identification of preservation tube information through the instrument can achieve automatic entry of information; automatic opening and closing of the lid function can reduce the tedious operation of the test personnel, and reduce the risk of cross-infection in the opening and closing operation, but also to save the time required to manually open and close the lid; automatic and accurate dispensing function, the sample liquid can be efficiently and accurately dispensed. In this section, the highly automated equipment reduces the laborious manual operation of the testing personnel and completes the accurate dispensing of 96 samples within 20 minutes.
In the nucleic acid extraction process, the manufacturer has introduced a highly integrated and automated nucleic acid extractor that integrates sample dispensing, nucleic acid purification, and PCR system construction. It is capable of processing 96 samples and constructing 9 different PCR systems at one time, saving the tedious operation of inspectors in the nucleic acid purification and PCR system construction process.
For amplification and product analysis, the manufacturer has introduced highly efficient amplification reagents and portable and compact amplifiers for scenarios where nucleic acid proof is urgently needed. In the amplification reagent to improve the reagent process, adding anti-pollution system, high efficiency system, to achieve a significant increase in amplification time. Equipped with portable and compact real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument, the amplification time is shortened to about half an hour, significantly improving the amplification efficiency.
The improvement of technology meets the requirements of New Crown's rapid nucleic acid detection efficiency, and the technology will continue to innovate as the epidemic continues to grow in popularity. New crown nucleic acid rapid test all-in-one machines and self-testing test strips are likely to become a reality someday in the future. The development of the epidemic drives technological advances, and technological advances will contain the epidemic.
In addition to the speed up in the new crown nucleic acid rapid test equipment, reagents, the new crown nucleic acid rapid test efficiency is also related to the "practice for war" daily prevention and control. The rapid response and orderly prevention measures are important measures to improve the efficiency of the Nucleic Acid Rapid Test.
