The 10-in-1 Mixed Collection Test means that the throat swabs collected from 10 subjects are placed in the same test tube for testing. Nucleic Acid 10-in-1 Mixed Collection means that 10 consecutive nucleic acid samples are collected from 10 people in a sequential order and the collected samples are placed in the same nucleic acid collection tube and registered. If the test result is negative, it can indicate that these 10 individuals are not infected with the new coronavirus for the time being; if the test result is positive, a new single-tube swab retest of these 10 individuals is required to identify a positive case.
Advantages of the 10-in-1 mixing test:
The 10-in-1 mixing test was adopted to ensure that in the event of an outbreak of CKV, nucleic acid testing of the entire population could be completed within a short period of time to minimize the risk of importation and local spread of the CKV epidemic. This will minimize the risk of importation and local spread of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic. During the epidemic of new coronavirus pneumonia, in low-risk areas and units in the daily testing process, generally recommended to take nucleic acid 10-in-1 mixed collection method, which can effectively avoid the waste of medical resources.
