At the beginning of February, the laboratory started operation in Wuhan Optics Valley in only five days, and carried out emergency detection in novel coronavirus, with an average daily detection capacity of over 10,000 people.
Immediately after the outbreak, Wuhan Huada Company rallied its strength to fight the epidemic with science and technology, and developed novel coronavirus 20 19-NCOV nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescence PCR method).
After the test sample is sent to the laboratory, it must go through a series of processes, such as receiving, unpacking, inactivation, information checking, liquid separation, plate moving, nucleic acid extraction, test amplification, report review and distribution. Among them, inactivation is the most critical link.

From 20 19 and 12, continuous monitoring of influenza and related diseases was carried out in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and many cases of novel coronavirus were found. Immediately after the outbreak, BGI rallied its strength to fight the epidemic with science and technology, and developed novel coronavirus 20 19-NCOV nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescence PCR method).
With the tight epidemic situation and the need of emergency detection, on February 5th, Wuhan Municipal Government, Donghu High-tech Zone, China Communications No.2 Aviation Administration, Shanghai Nori Laboratory and Huada Gene jointly established the first fire eye laboratory, and Huada Zhi Zhi provided high-throughput sequencing with overall solutions and equipment for the construction of nucleic acid detection laboratory, covering an area of about 2,000 square meters.
After the start-up of Huo Yan Laboratory, emergency detection was carried out in novel coronavirus, and the detection capacity reached nearly 50% in peak days, with an average daily detection capacity of more than 10,000 people.
