Beijing's first gas film version of "Fire Eye" nucleic acid testing laboratory was opened, located in the sports center of Daxing District; only 3 days from installation, commissioning to use

"Fire Eye" laboratory can test 30,000 samples per day

  Yesterday, in the Beijing Daxing Sports Center Complex, nine 3.5-meter-high, white arched gas membrane cabins covering more than 70 square meters formed the "Fire Eye" nucleic acid detection laboratory.

Yesterday, the goggles of the workers in the gas film version of "Fire Eye" nucleic acid testing laboratory were covered with mist.

Workers need to be "fully armed" to enter the nucleic acid testing laboratory.

Workers send and take nucleic acid samples through the one-way connection window.

  9 white arched gas membrane cabins with a height of 3.5 meters and an area of ​​more than 70 square meters have been built, and 14 automated nucleic acid extraction equipment are ready. This is Beijing's first gas membrane version "Fire Eye" nucleic acid detection laboratory, located in Beijing Daxing District Sports Center Complex. After being officially put into use, the laboratory's nucleic acid detection capacity can reach 30,000 people per day, alleviating the current nucleic acid detection pressure.

  Beijing News Yesterday, Beijing's first gas film version "Fire Eye" nucleic acid testing laboratory was put into use in Daxing District. The laboratory has a total of 9 white arched gas film cabins, of which 3 are used as sample receiving areas and 6 gas membrane cabins. Accommodate 14 automated nucleic acid extraction equipment.

After operation, the nucleic acid detection capability of Beijing will be greatly improved

  This mobile, automated, high-throughput nucleic acid testing laboratory can test tens of thousands of samples every day during the trial operation. After the official operation, it can meet the daily testing needs of up to 30,000. This will greatly enhance Beijing's nucleic acid testing capabilities and ease the current pressure on nucleic acid testing.

  Each air-membrane cabin is also equipped with auxiliary conversion spaces such as air lock conversion, medical waste outlet, and dressing room. A one-way connection window is installed between each gas membrane cabin, which can prevent cross infection at the same time, and solve the current detection needs of epidemic prevention and control.

Xicheng gas film version "Fire Eye" nucleic acid testing laboratory will be put into use

  Liu Xin, the chief representative of the North Region of Huada Gene, introduced that the overall function and layout of the "fire eye" nucleic acid testing laboratory of the gas membrane version is consistent with that of the traditional laboratory. The main building that meets the standards of nucleic acid testing laboratories, thus speeding up the construction of nucleic acid testing laboratories. At the same time, it can be withdrawn within half a day to quickly restore the original appearance of the site.

  Liu Xin told reporters that in addition to Daxing’s “Fire Eye” nucleic acid testing laboratory, Xicheng District is also building a “Fire Eye” nucleic acid laboratory with a gas membrane version. There is a group of laboratories, including three gas membrane cabins, It is expected to be put into use in the near future.

■ Visit

The extraction equipment operates 96 samples at a time

  Yesterday afternoon, the reporter walked into the gas film version of "Fire Eye" laboratory. The laboratory is located in the Beijing Daxing Sports Center Complex. Nine white arched gas membrane cabins with a height of 3.5 meters and an area of ​​more than 70 square meters have been completed, and 14 automated nucleic acid extraction equipment are ready.

  Nine gas-filled white gas membrane compartments are arranged in three groups, each of which is divided into three compartments, namely sample receiving area, reagent preparation area, sample preparation area and amplification area, and equipped with air lock conversion and medical waste Conversion spaces such as exits and dressing rooms.

  The reporter walked into a gas membrane cabin and saw that the staff was finally commissioning a nucleic acid extraction automation device. The equipment mechanical arm simulated the operation of medical personnel to extract nucleic acid, and automatically extracted the test tubes on the tray in batches. A single device can extract 96 samples at a time.

  Liu Xin said that with the need for nucleic acid testing, the gas membrane cabin still has room for additional instrument testing equipment. The equipment can be directly assembled to achieve customized upgrades.

  The reporter saw a special window on the side of each gas membrane cabin, which is a one-way connection window. For example, if the staff wants to transfer the test sample from one gas membrane compartment to another, the staff needs to put the sample in the window first and then close the window before the staff in the other gas membrane compartment can open the window Pickup. Liu Xin said that the laboratory is constructed according to the standards of the second-level biosafety laboratory. The protection level of each cabin is different. The use of one-way connection windows can avoid cross-infection between the cabins.

Secret 1

Construction methods

It only takes 50 minutes to inflate the gas membrane cabin

  The “Fire Eye” nucleic acid testing laboratory did not appear for the first time during the epidemic prevention and control period. During the Wuhan epidemic prevention and control period, the “Fire Eye” laboratory played an important role. It was just that the "Fire Eye" laboratory was built in accordance with traditional building techniques. Liu Xin said that the Wuhan version of the "Fire Eye" laboratory has gathered a lot of resources and has spent 5 days before and after.

  Liu Xin believes that the Wuhan version of the "Fire Eye" laboratory is difficult to replicate, "so we consider how to adapt to the needs of nucleic acid detection in the short term and speed up nucleic acid detection capabilities. Finally, I thought of the method of using a gas membrane cabin." Previously, the gas membrane cabin It has been completed in Harbin, and it took a total of 5 days. This time, Beijing introduced the gas membrane nucleic acid testing laboratory. It took only 3 days from installation and equipment entry to commissioning and use.

  According to reports, it takes only about 50 minutes to fill the gas membrane cabin with gas. Modular layout is used in the cabin, and the equipment is directly assembled after entering the field, which is very convenient. Compared with traditional craftsmanship, the construction method is much faster.

Secret 2

Laboratory safety

Fresh air system ensures cleanliness of emissions

  The reporter discovered during the site visit yesterday that all personnel entering the laboratory need to do very strict personal protection, such as wearing protective clothing, goggles, etc., but in the outer area of ​​the laboratory, all personnel only wear masks. Just do daily protection. Will the laboratory affect the surrounding environment?

  Liu Xin said that the public need not worry about the safety of the laboratory. He explained that the laboratory has a design of fresh air system and high-efficiency filtration system. It manages the inlet and outlet air of each functional area to ensure that each functional space is independent of each other, while ensuring the cleanliness of the laboratory’s outward discharge to meet the clinical Gene amplification testing laboratory and virus testing laboratory biological safety and other relevant standards and guidelines.

  After the task of nucleic acid testing was completed, the laboratory was able to withdraw within half a day and quickly restore the original appearance of the site.
