[Explanation] Carrying out nucleic acid testing plays an important role in epidemic prevention and control.
After the outbreak in Shufu County, Kashgar, Xinjiang, in order to quickly cut off the route of transmission and ensure the safety and health of people of all ethnic groups, the Xinjiang Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters decided to focus on Shufu County and carry out free nucleic acid testing for all employees in Kashgar. .
[Explanation] In order to ensure rapid and accurate testing, nucleic acid testing laboratories in Kashgar operate day and night and carry out testing 24 hours a day.
[Explanation] On November 6, at the Medical Inspection Center of the Second People's Hospital of Kashgar, the examiner Dang Nan came out of the nucleic acid testing laboratory. She looked a little tired after she had just finished the night shift.

We entered the laboratory at ten o’clock yesterday, and then we made 6812 tubes. From yesterday to today, I was mainly responsible for the preliminary numbering. In the later period, I changed the isolation gown and went to the result analysis area to analyze the 6812 tubes. Just this morning come out.
【Explanation】According to the requirements, the samples should be transported to the nucleic acid testing laboratory in time under low temperature.
To this end, personnel from various medical institutions in Kashgar worked overtime to deliver samples 24 hours a day.
During the interview, the reporter saw at the door of the laboratory that there were still test samples sent to the laboratory from time to time.
[Explanation] There are currently 23 nucleic acid testing personnel in the Second People's Hospital of Kashgar.
In order to improve work efficiency, nucleic acid testing personnel practice their skills.
Originally, two people needed the cooperation of sample addition. After repeated practice, you can open the lid with the left hand and add samples with the right hand. Now only one person can complete it.
[Explanation] It used to be an average of 40 minutes for a tester to add samples to a plate of sampling tubes, but now it only takes 22 minutes.
The fastest sample addition is the inspector of the department, Abu Likmu Abu Lizi, who can complete it in 12 minutes.
With proficiency in operation and the improvement of hardware, the laboratory's daily testing volume has increased by 40% compared to before.

The specimens are collected and transported to our laboratory. From inactivation to its numbering, extraction, and amplification, this series of operations will affect our inspection speed. Our batch of specimens takes about 4 to 6 hours. As a result, I and my more than 20 colleagues have been conducting nucleic acid testing here from October 24 onwards. We have increased our horsepower and replaced people without changing jobs. I now hope that the general public can give us With more understanding, support and patience, we complete various inspection tasks with quality and quantity.
[Explanation] It is reported that the third free nucleic acid test for all employees has been completed in Kashgar, and the fourth free nucleic acid test for all employees was launched on November 4.
