【Explanation】 During the "May 1st" holiday, Ninghai Customs' Pingxiang Customs New Crown Virus Nucleic Acid Testing Laboratory was officially put into operation, becoming the first laboratory in Guangxi border port to obtain a new crest viral nucleic acid testing technology and competency certificate.
[Commentary] On May 13th, the reporter saw at the laboratory site that the laboratory is equipped with reagent storage and preparation area, specimen preparation area, amplification area and amplification product analysis area, and is equipped with a negative pressure room air conditioning system , Biological safety cabinet, automatic nucleic acid extraction instrument, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument, ultra-low temperature high-speed centrifuge and other equipment, in the laboratory testing area, several staff members are busy testing the new coronavirus nucleic acid samples.
[Commentary] Lan Yiwen, the head of the Pingxiang Customs Laboratory in Guangxi, said that the completion of the laboratory is extremely convenient for the detection of new coronavirus nucleic acid samples, and can also quickly obtain the test results.

The samples sent by the port, we enter the biosafety cabinet through the transfer window of the laboratory, and then carry out the handover and review of the samples, and then inactivate the samples. Minutes, a nucleic acid is extracted after inactivation, and the gene amplification technology of the PCR instrument is carried out after the extraction. The gene amplification technology will be the product analysis, and the results will be obtained (tested) after four to five hours.
[Explanation] It is understood that the 1,020-km-long land border line between Guangxi and Vietnam is the only province in China that has both land and sea links with ASEAN. Among them, the Pingxiang Friendship Checkpoint is the largest land port and the most convenient international trade channel from China to Vietnam and ASEAN. The establishment of Pingxiang Customs Laboratory is mainly responsible for the nucleic acid testing of inbound personnel such as Youyiguan Port, Pingxiang Railway Port, Aidian Port, and Shuikou Port. The design testing capacity is 200 people per day.
[Commentary] Lan Yiwen introduced that importing foreign epidemic prevention and strengthening port control is very important, and nucleic acid detection capability is one of the most important links. Previously, the samples collected at the port had to be sent to Nanning city 200 kilometers away for testing, which was very inconvenient because of the long time and long journey. After the new laboratory is completed, the port samples can be tested in the border area as soon as possible, and abnormal personnel can be promptly checked and transferred.

We used to send samples from the port to the Nanning Customs Guangxi International Travel Health Care Center for testing. Now that our nucleic acid laboratory is completed, the samples sent by the port can be tested (in) the border area within the first time. ) Timely discovery of abnormalities and timely investigation and transfer.
[Commentary] It is reported that for the importation of foreign epidemic prevention, Guangxi border cities have set up special teams to work in ports, and established working mechanisms for joint prevention and control of transnational joint ventures, emergency treatment of epidemic outbreaks at ports, and security of port clearance operations with the Vietnamese side. Control, ensure the smooth flow of goods at the port, and promote the recovery and development of border trade.
