Sino-Singapore Jingwei, June 9 (Wang Yuling) "The nucleic acid sampling booth market is booming now. In May alone, I sold more than 3,000 sets here. The business opportunities are huge, and the second-tier cities have not yet spread." Talking about the recent hot Nucleic acid sampling booth, the manufacturer Li Yong sighed to the reporter of Sino-Singapore Jingwei.

  Business opportunities emerge in new markets, but disputes such as "inconvenient operation", "different manufacturers' quality" and "large price difference" also follow. So, who is entering this market?

What is the status quo?

Who is producing?

  "Zhengzhou Nucleic Acid Sampling House" has been on the hot search recently, because the nucleic acid sampling house not only did not bring convenience to the citizens of Zhengzhou, Henan Province for testing, but instead caused a lot of inconvenience.

Not only did the samplers sit a little short and stand a little tall, but many citizens also needed to perform actions such as stomping horses to complete the sampling.

In the end, many testing personnel had no choice but to abandon the sampling house and go out for testing.

  So, who are the manufacturers behind the design being complained about?

How about their design and production capacity?

  Sino-Singapore Jingwei noticed that Henan Province has announced the procurement results of two batches of "Double Convenience Nucleic Acid Sampling House Procurement Project".

  On May 16th, the Henan Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology issued the first batch of procurement announcements, and the review was completed on May 18th. Finally, Hailemiao (Zhengzhou) Intelligent IoT Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hailermiao") was registered and established for only 11 days. ”) won the bid through single-source procurement, with a unit price of 46,800 yuan.

  The second batch of procurement was changed to competitive negotiation procurement. Six companies including Zhengzhou Jingyida Auto Parts Co., Ltd. and Henan Senyuan Hongma Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd. were shortlisted, and the price was also reduced to 35,000-44,000 yuan.

Previously, Rongdong Manufacturing and Haier Bio have attracted much attention for receiving a large number of orders for nucleic acid sampling kiosks, and the two also happen to be representative companies of the two types of entrants.

  According to public information, Rongdong Manufacturing has branch offices in many places across the country. Its main products are

mobile toilets, security guard booths, kiosks and other equipment

. There are 15 production bases across the country.

According to media reports, after delivering mobile public toilets to the Shanghai Fangcang shelter hospital, in April this year, Rongdong Manufacturing transformed the existing production line through independent research and development, and began to produce nucleic acid sampling booths.

  In the name of the buyer, Sino-Singapore Jingwei consulted Li Yu, which is located in Rongdong, Guangdong. Li Yu said that the production capacity in June was very tight, and the production tasks of hundreds of nucleic acid sampling booths were "queuing up".

"According to our delivery experience, it may be sent up to two times a week, and five units at a time, because it also involves receiving and debugging, installation and transshipment, etc." Li Yu said.

  Sino-Singapore Jingwei noticed that there are not a few companies that are similar to Rongdong manufacturing "half-way monks". According to the Ai Purchasing Network,

most of the manufacturers have switched production for other industries, including air-conditioning companies, steel structure construction companies, container and prefab house manufacturers.

Among them, there are also some enterprises that appear to be "not doing their jobs properly", including road flower boxes, office furniture, and public billboard manufacturers

.

According to Tianyancha, Domus (Shandong) Cultural Tourism Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Domus") business scope includes tourism business, real estate development and operation, and construction engineering design. It was established in January 2022. According to Love Procurement, the The price of the company's nucleic acid sampling booth is shown as 32,000 yuan for 1 set, 31,000 yuan for 5 sets, and 30,000 yuan for 10 sets.

  What plans does Domus have for entering nucleic acid sampling booths, and what are the advantages?

Sino-Singapore Jingwei called Domus, but could not get through.

  Why are these companies able to enter the game?

  A manufacturer revealed to Sino-Singapore Jingwei that, on the one hand,

although nucleic acid sampling booths are used for medical protection, they are not medical equipment, so the requirements for production qualifications are not high

.

On the other hand, some manufacturers are distributors and will enter the game with channel advantages, and then cooperate with manufacturers, and the manufacturers will carry out OEM.

  The other category is listed companies represented by Haier Biology.

The above-mentioned major shareholder of Hailemiao Company is Haier Biology.

  In response to public complaints, Hai Lemiao responded to the media on June 6 that the most concern in the early stage was biological safety protection, and there may be insufficient comfort.

In response to feedback such as unreasonable design, the team has optimized the product, such as replacing stools with larger adjustment ranges for medical staff, adding cushions, and equipping children with stools.

  In addition, Hikvision also appeared on the list of local bidding companies. It stated on the interactive platform that the company has nucleic acid testing kiosk products and has already put them on the market, and the specific product information is not within the scope of disclosure.

  Zhilai Technology stated on the investor interaction platform that the company has samples of this type of products and has begun the promotion stage.

  Jingxue Energy Conservation also stated on the investor interaction platform recently that the company's nucleic acid sampling workstation adopts a non-contact sampling window, including sterilization system, air conditioning system, fresh air positive pressure system, power supply system, lighting system, intercom system, etc.

The company can supply nationwide, and currently supplies to Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing and other places have been put into use.

Why is the price difference so big?

  According to public information, the nucleic acid sampling booth is mainly operated by one person and two people. The main facilities include air conditioners, filters, ultraviolet disinfection equipment, walkie-talkies, centrifugal fans, etc.

  However, Sino-Singapore Jingwei noticed that in different regions, the price difference of nucleic acid sampling booths is large.

The price of a single nucleic acid sampling hut in Kuanghe Center, Luotian County, Hubei Province is 15,700 yuan; the Health and Health Commission of Weidong District, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province has conducted a tender for 22 convenient nucleic acid testing and sampling booths, and the unit price is not higher than 50,000 yuan;

Tianjin Municipality The budget for nucleic acid sampling booths and nucleic acid sampling workstations in Xiaozhan Hospital in Jinnan District reached 78,000 yuan.

  According to the quotation provided by the manufacturer Li Yong to Sino-Singapore Jingwei, the nucleic acid sampling booth produced by the company is 6,600 yuan for one person and 7,000 yuan for two people, including tax and excluding freight.

  Zhang Zhi, a local producer of a biotechnology company, told Sino-Singapore Jingwei that

if it is a distributor, the single-person nucleic acid sampling booth is priced at 22,900 yuan, two people are 35,000 yuan, and if it is a medical institution, a single person is 37,000 yuan , 70,000 yuan for two people.

  Why is the price difference of nucleic acid sampling booths large?

Li Yong told Sino-Singapore Jingwei that different prices correspond to different construction standards, and the lower price is the simplified nucleic acid sampling booth without air conditioning and filtration system.

The higher-priced nucleic acid sampling booths are usually positive and negative pressure cabins, equipped with positive and negative pressure fresh air systems, which can ensure the difference in air pressure inside and outside.

  "Theoretically, the sampling personnel do not need to wear protective clothing when sitting inside. In addition, they are equipped with high-efficiency air filtration systems and air conditioners, which can improve the environment of nucleic acid sampling personnel in summer." Li Yong said.

  Take the bidding of nucleic acid sampling huts in Baita District, Liaoyang City as an example.

How to integrate into urban construction?

  Although the market is hot, many manufacturers have told Sino-Singapore Jingwei that many customers are hesitant to purchase nucleic acid sampling kiosks.

  On the one hand, due to the lack of uniform construction standards for nucleic acid sampling workstations, manufacturers can only show that their products are qualified by passing the quality system verification of the Quality Certification Center and meeting laboratory safety standards. At present, only Wuxi City has formulated local policies.

  However, Sino-Singapore Jingwei noticed that

Wuxi City's "New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Sampling Cabin Management Specification" mainly requires the safety and convenience of nucleic acid sampling, and its main specification lies in use, not construction

.

Positive pressure cabins with high efficiency air filtration systems are required to be preferred, and positive pressure operation shall be monitored and recorded weekly.

The hut with non-positive pressure design should be well ventilated, and if necessary, mechanical ventilation should be adopted, or a man-machine coexistence type circulating air air sterilizer should be equipped for uninterrupted air sterilization.

  On the other hand, the construction cost of nucleic acid sampling booths is also a problem.

  Zhang Zhi, a local producer of a biotechnology company, told Sino-Singapore Jingwei that there are two types of buyers for nucleic acid sampling booths. Some are scattered orders, including third-party nucleic acid testing laboratories and some distributors. The main buyers are local governments or medical institutions. .

  Sino-Singapore Jingwei noticed that some third-party nucleic acid laboratories have indicated to purchase nucleic acid sampling booths.

Berry Gene said that the company's current nucleic acid testing business is mainly to carry out nucleic acid testing in response to government needs, and the nucleic acid testing and sampling kiosks that the company entrusts professional institutions to produce are mainly for self-testing use.

  However, there are also "tug-of-war" between third-party nucleic acid laboratories and local governments.

  "Customers in some areas are now waiting and watching. Nucleic acid testing institutions have no incentive to invest, and now the mixed test is reduced to 3.5 yuan, and a nucleic acid laboratory is often 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which is an expense for them. So now only one nucleic acid has been put in Lanzhou area. Sampling booth." A manufacturer revealed to Sino-Singapore Jingwei.

  According to media reports, temporary makeshift hospitals are mostly built with container-type prefab houses, and their service life is about 3 to 5 years.

The permanent makeshift hospital is designed and constructed for a service life of 50 years, focusing on long-term use.

  Compared with the previous simple sampling tent, the

sampling booth, as a "movable building" that needs to meet laboratory safety standards, corresponds to a permanent shelter, which should be improved in terms of construction cost and quality.

However, the difference is that the permanent makeshift hospital is a reserve hospital with inspection and simple treatment functions, and the construction standards and cost estimates can rely on the "Management Specifications for the Setup of Makeshift Hospitals".

In addition to the anti-epidemic function, according to the bidding platform, some Fangcang shelter hospital projects are already considering how to generate revenue during the application process, including conference rental, establishment of health care, and medical and health care facilities.

  However, the nucleic acid sampling booth is used more frequently and the space is narrower. How to consider its better integration into the city and function?

  Sino-Singapore Jingwei noticed that Shanghai has begun to carry out related explorations.

According to media reports, many units in Shanghai will formulate the "Shanghai Nucleic Acid Sampling Booth Design Guidelines" through competitions.

It stated that the design of nucleic acid sampling booths should meet the daily public service guarantee of nucleic acid testing, facilitate rapid production and easy installation, and encourage the use of prefabricated components to achieve standardized and modular production and installation.

In terms of materials, attention is paid to the wind resistance and waterproof ability of the sampling booth.

The design plan should consider the multi-scenario utilization method of "epidemic transition". After the epidemic is completely over, it is convenient for rapid transformation and recycling, and carbon emissions are reduced.
