FireEye the laboratory by the Wuhan Municipal Government, East Lake Hi-tech Zone, CCCC Second Navigation Bureau, Shanghai Nori Laboratory, UWM jointly **** built.
Early February, the lab took only five days to start running in Wuhan's Optics Valley to carry out emergency testing for the new coronavirus, with an average daily testing capacity of more than 10,000 copies.
After the outbreak, Wuhan UWM gathered its strength and fought the epidemic with science and technology at the first time, and developed a new coronavirus 2019-nCoV nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescent PCR method).
After the test samples are delivered to the laboratory, they have to go through a series of processes such as receiving, unpacking, inactivation, information verification, liquid splitting, plate transfer, nucleic acid extraction, detection and amplification, report review and issuance. Among them, inactivation is the most critical part.
Expanded Information
Background of Generation
Since December 2019, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, has continued to carry out surveillance of influenza and related diseases, and has found a number of cases of novel coronavirus. After the outbreak, UWG was the first to gather strength and fight the epidemic with technology, and developed a novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescent PCR method).
With the tense situation of the epidemic and the demand for emergency testing, in order to assist in the prevention and control of the epidemic, on February 5, by the Wuhan Municipal Government, East Lake Hi-Tech Zone, CCCC, Shanghai Nori Laboratory, and UWG jointly **** build the first FireEye Laboratory, and the UWG provided the overall solution of high-throughput sequencing and equipment for the construction of the nucleic acid testing laboratory, which occupies an area of about 2,000 square meters.
After the launch of the FireEye Laboratory, emergency testing for the new coronavirus was carried out, reaching nearly 50% of the testing volume on peak days, with an average daily testing capacity of more than 10,000 copies.
