(Countering New Crown Pneumonia) BGI Completes 360,000 New Crown Nucleic Acid Tests nationwide
China News Service Shenzhen, March 3 (Reporter Zheng Xiaohong) When reporters interviewed at Shenzhen Huada Gene's "Fire Eye" Lab on the 3rd, as of 24:00 on March 2, Huada Gene had completed 1.3 million copies. The production of a new coronavirus nucleic acid detection kit has completed 360,000 cases of new coronavirus pneumonia nucleic acid testing nationwide.
It is reported that the detection of the new coronavirus nucleic acid is an important basis for clinical diagnosis and patient rehabilitation and discharge, and also a basis for judging the release of contacts. The "Fire Eye" laboratory operated by Huada has been successfully replicated from Wuhan to Shenzhen, Tianjin, Changsha, Shijiazhuang, Beijing, Wuxi and other regions, providing important evidence for suspected exclusion, clinical diagnosis and patient rehabilitation, and also for national resumption of labor and labor. Scientific support. At present, "Fire Eye" laboratories in Shanghai, Chongqing, Kunming, Qingdao, Guiyang and other places are also under construction.
Yin Hua, Chief Commander of the Leading Group of BGI Response and CEO of BGI, answered questions from media reporters Chen Wenshe
According to reports, on February 5, the "Fire Eye" laboratory in Wuhan with a daily detection capacity of 10,000 people began trial operation and became the "outpost" of many epidemic-resistant fortresses such as "Thunder Mountain", "Vulcan Mountain" and "square cabin". From February 29th, the daily sample size of the "Fire Eye" laboratory in Wuhan has exceeded 10,000 cases, and the peak of sample reception on March 1 exceeded 14,000 cases. At present, the daily testing throughput (single-day testing volume) of Wuhan "Fire Eye" laboratory has increased from 10,000 copies / day to 20,000 copies / day. As of 24:00 on March 2nd, Wuhan Huada Medical Laboratory and its operating "Fire Eye" laboratory had accumulatively received more than 110,000 test samples from Hubei, including Wuhan.
In this process, the high-throughput automated sample preparation system made by Huada Zhihua, a subsidiary of Huada Group, is equipped with the "Fire Eye" laboratory in Wuhan to ensure the detection capacity of 10,000 people per day. Medical institutions and disease control centers.
The Fire Eye laboratory has also been recognized by the international community. At present, many countries are discussing cooperation with Huada and hope to introduce the Fire Eye model to overseas markets. On March 1st, BGI New Crown Virus nucleic acid detection reagent obtained the EU sales certificate, which will greatly meet the global demand for the prevention and control of the New Crown Virus epidemic. As of 24:00 on March 2nd, the international order volume of the new coronavirus nucleic acid detection kit has exceeded 310,000, and it has arrived in Brunei, Japan and other 26 countries and regions.
