Tianjin Binhai New Area: The air membrane laboratory was officially put into use, and the maximum detection capacity in 24 hours reached 120,000 tubes

CCTV news: At about 9 o'clock on January 11, the air membrane laboratory was officially completed and put into use in Tianjin Binhai New Area, rapidly improving the current nucleic acid detection capacity of Tianjin.

In order to achieve the commissioning as soon as possible, since January 9, the laboratory construction team has sent more than 120 managers and construction personnel to the tense air membrane laboratory construction and assembly work overnight.

Kong Qingming, head of the construction team of the air film laboratory in Tianjin Binhai New Area: We immediately rushed to the Hangu Tennis Hall to form a 500-square-meter air film laboratory and cooperate with the Zhejiang medical team to complete three tasks, mainly the loading and unloading of equipment, the construction of laboratories, and the assembly of equipment.

The main equipment of the laboratory includes more than 100 amplification instruments, 40 or 50 extractors, and a maximum detection capacity of 120,000 tubes in 24 hours, which can detect multiple samples at a time or perform multiple tests on the same sample. The air membrane laboratory built this time will be mainly used for large-scale nucleic acid testing in the sealing and control area, control area and prevention area in Tianjin.

Chen Sha, expert of air film laboratory: Relying on testing personnel and automation equipment, 24-hour uninterrupted work, our daily production capacity has reached 120,000 tubes, covering 1.2 million person-times. Coupled with other cabins and central laboratories invested in Tianjin, the daily production capacity reached 400,000 tubes, covering 4 million passengers.
