"Under the 24-hour full load operation, the daily detection capacity of the laboratory can reach 15,000 tubes, and if the 'ten-in-one' mixed mining is used, the single-day detection can reach 150,000 person-times, which greatly shortens the detection time, improves the nucleic acid detection capacity and efficiency, so that suspected patients can be screened in time, so as to achieve early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment, providing strong support for large-scale population screening in the county." On the morning of April 14, in front of the mobile PCR cabin laboratory of Luoping County People's Hospital in Qujing City, Yunnan Province, Zhao Youkui, director of the Department of Medical Laboratory, said that this was the first mobile PCR cabin laboratory in Luoping.
The mobile PCR square cabin laboratory looks like a container container, covers an area of nearly 60 square meters, although it is small, but "complete". It is designed in accordance with the standard PCR molecular diagnostic laboratory, in line with the requirements of the enhanced medical BSL-2 laboratory, including negative pressure system, fresh air unit, fire fighting facilities, internal monitoring system, sewage treatment system, information system, etc., with emergency washing room and various instruments and equipment for nucleic acid detection of the new crown virus. It is divided into four areas, such as reagent preparation area, sample preparation area, amplification analysis area and sterilization area, and also has a combination of nucleic acid extraction instrument, fluorescence quantitative PCR analyzer, biosecurity cabinet and other combination equipment, and is equipped with interlocking stainless steel transfer windows between the areas, and equipped with disinfection ultraviolet lamps to ensure that reagents and specimens are not contaminated during the transmission process and fully protect the life safety of medical operators. In addition to standard and rapid improvement of detection capabilities, compared with traditional PCR laboratories, it has the advantages of strong timeliness, strong mobility, short sample circulation time, and small personnel flow range, which can improve regional nucleic acid detection capabilities.
According to reports, the newly built mobile PCR cabin laboratory can realize the mobile function, with the advantages of rapid off-site response, cross-regional transfer, strong environmental adaptability and other characteristics, in the face of emergencies, can respond to short-term large-scale emergency nucleic acid testing needs in a timely manner, the first time to carry out testing, accelerate regional nucleic acid detection and population screening efficiency. The use of this "hard-core" equipment not only realizes "one-stop" rapid nucleic acid testing, saves a lot of time for the delivery of nucleic acid samples, but also effectively avoids the biosecurity risks brought about by the transfer of samples and the flow of personnel, will greatly improve the speed of nucleic acid detection and epidemic emergency response capabilities in the county, win valuable time for epidemic prevention and control, block the spread of the epidemic at the fastest speed, add another safety barrier to regional epidemic prevention and control, and effectively protect the health and life safety of the people.
It is reported that Luoping County People's Hospital conscientiously implements the relevant requirements of epidemic prevention and control work, actively builds a "peacetime and wartime combination" system that can respond quickly to normalization prevention and control and emergency response, solidly promotes the prevention and control of the epidemic in detail, and strives to improve nucleic acid detection capabilities and epidemic prevention and control efficiency. After the preliminary emergency procurement, site transformation, material filling and other work, on April 12, the mobile PCR cabin laboratory was successfully landed. "The county party committee and county government attach great importance to the prevention and control of the epidemic, in accordance with the arrangements of the county epidemic prevention and control command, our hospital quickly introduced a mobile PCR cabin laboratory, which will greatly enhance the ability to quickly detect nucleic acids and provide 'hard core' guarantee for the people's life safety and physical health!" Li Hongdao, secretary of the party committee of the county people's hospital, said.
