The higher cost of equipment, testing equipment, testing supplies, personnel protective equipment and other costs lead to more expensive nucleic acid testing.
In the face of the global epidemic continues, domestic epidemics, currently facing the Spring Festival large-scale mobility, nucleic acid testing demand spurt of growth, nucleic acid testing of multiple links generated by manpower, consumables, equipment, transportation and other costs have become hard to see the naked eye, "invisible costs".
Nucleic acid testing of disposable supplies: collection of personnel protective clothing, N95 masks, protective glasses, testing personnel is also a device, wearing hot and stuffy, testing for a few hours to change a set of equipment, is a considerable investment, nucleic acid testing equipment is the need for funds, the need for a considerable amount of money to invest, and a variety of transportation costs, including the transfer of the samples.
Nucleic acid test sampling notes:
1, before the test. Nucleic acid test sampling area, there are generally a large number of samplers, in order to avoid cross-infection, the person being tested remember to wear a mask correctly, in accordance with the order of the correct disinfection into the sampling area, while in the 30 minutes before the sampling should be avoided to drink, eat, smoke, drink and chew gum and other behaviors.
In addition, the sampling personnel should be informed of their past medical history and other related matters in a timely manner before sampling.
2. During testing. Nucleic acid sampling will cause some discomfort to the human body, such as nausea, which is a normal physiological reaction, the test should be prepared in advance to eliminate fear, try to relax, keep your head back, open your mouth in order to sample the smooth progress, but also to reduce discomfort. In addition, if the sampling process causes sneezing, should be promptly covered with tissue paper.
3. After the test. After the end of nucleic acid sampling, the test subject should leave the collection point in a timely manner, do not stay for a long time, not to mention spitting and vomiting around the collection point, and the test subject to leave the collection point in a timely manner to disinfect the hands and clothing, in order to prevent cross-infection. In addition, it is advisable for the subject to prepare a spare mask and put the discarded masks into the designated garbage cans.
4. Other precautions. Nucleic acid test collectors are usually closely guarded, and their speech may be unclear and their hearing may be affected. In order to improve efficiency, the test subject should prepare an ID card or household register in advance, and prepare tissues, which can be used to write down information such as ID card number, home address, and contact phone number in advance and hand them over to the staff.
