The Nucleic Acid Test Air Membrane Edition FireEye Lab is a scaled nucleic acid testing platform that provides an integrated pathogen testing solution.
The appearance of the white arch-shaped air membrane cabin, the cabin using a modular layout, equipment into the field directly after the assembly, compared to the traditional process of construction is much faster. Each volume of more than 70 square meters of gas membrane cabin, but the gas membrane is only about 4 square meters after the storage up, to be full of gas membrane cabin gas only takes about 50 minutes. The main role is to quickly and effectively deal with the current outbreak, and quickly improve the ability to detect nucleic acids. The "eye of fire" laboratory has the advantages of automation, high throughput, daily nucleic acid detection capacity of up to tens of thousands of copies, will effectively alleviate the urgent need for nucleic acid testing.
The air-film chamber was jointly designed by UWG, Tongji University, and Etopia during the Xinguancangpneumonia outbreak. The internal layout of the chambers uses one-way connecting windows to maximize the possibility of eliminating cross-contamination. A one-way window is installed between the chambers, so that staff on one side of the chamber can place samples inside the window and then close it, while staff on the other side can open the window to remove the samples. Each air membrane chamber is equipped with airlock conversion, medical waste exit, changing room and other auxiliary conversion space.
The air film version of the FireEye laboratory every 3 air film cabin for a group, respectively, responsible for sample preparation, nucleic acid extraction, nucleic acid detection of the three links, so as to form a complete laboratory. The same group of chambers are connected to each other through a transfer window to transfer samples. These air-film chambers are negatively pressurized, and the incoming air will be filtered through the fresh air system, and the internal air will have to be harmlessly processed through high-efficiency filters before it can be discharged out of the chambers.
"FireEye" laboratory is also equipped with "black technology" - automated nucleic acid detector, which allows nucleic acid detection level and efficiency have been substantially improved. Automated nucleic acid detector can automatically complete a series of operations such as opening the reagent box, adding reagents, scanning the code to enter information, reducing the need for the number of personnel, to meet the requirements of the detection of throughput enhancement, and improve the accuracy of the test.
