[Explanation] At 10 am on December 12, the cold logistics truck from CIMC Lengyun slowly drove out of Huada Biotechnology (Wuhan) Company, and it was loaded with 30,000 Covid-19 nucleic acids donated by Hubei Province to Mongolia Test kits and supporting materials.
[Explanation] According to reports, this batch of anti-epidemic materials will first be transported to Beijing, where vehicles will be replenished and depart for Erenhot, Inner Mongolia. It is expected to arrive in Erenhot in the early morning of December 14 and will be sent to Mongolia as soon as the local customs clearance procedures are completed country.

Our transport truck is already enough to load the materials we need, so we have also equipped two drivers, so that one can quickly and safely deliver the materials to Erenhot, so that these anti-epidemic materials can be delivered to Erenhot. It was delivered to our Mongolian side as soon as possible, and then used for their epidemic prevention (work).
[Explanation] Nucleic acid detection kits have higher temperature requirements, and cold chain transportation is used throughout the process.
The temperature in the compartment of the vehicle transporting reagents is maintained at 2-8°C. The compartment is closed during transportation. The driver can check the compartment temperature in real time through the monitoring equipment in the cab and mobile phone APP.
In order to maintain the thermal insulation effect, BGI’s reagent storage box uses vacuum insulation panels to minimize heat transfer, and a constant temperature ice row is added to the box.

Now we also consider that the temperature in Mongolia is relatively low, reaching more than 20 degrees below zero. Therefore, during this transportation, we will carry out a heat preservation measure for materials at room temperature and pack them in an incubator. In addition, we The nucleic acid detection reagents are transported at minus 20 degrees. We will use dry ice to pack them. At the same time, we also use refrigerated trucks at two to eight degrees for a full cold chain transportation to ensure that when the outside environment is very low, the inside of the car Always ensure that it is in a temperature zone of two to eight.
[Explanation] It is reported that the 30,000 COVID-19 nucleic acid test kits and supporting materials donated to Mongolia have undergone full performance and quality sampling before shipment.

In the face of the epidemic, no country or nation can survive alone. Then we can only use global forces to fight the virus. Only in this way can we win the final victory. Therefore, we hope that this batch of materials we provide can be delivered to the world. Give Mongolia (country) a technological weapon against the epidemic.
[Explanation] It is reported that the tea and other daily necessities donated by Hubei to Mongolia are also being actively prepared and will be released in the near future.
