Heihe, China News Network, November 1 Title: Visiting the "Fireeye Laboratory" in China's Border: Short Soldiers "Hunt Down" the Virus

In Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province, on the russian border, the cold winter arrived earlier than other regions, and the sudden attack was also caused by the new outbreak caused by the foreign Delta variant strain, and the "FireEye" mobile nucleic acid testing laboratory of the Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital provided rapid support. On November 1, a reporter from China News Service visited the "Fire Eye", which is the "hunting scene" where the virus is in contact with the short soldiers.

"Eye of Fire" has a speed of fire, and the 1-hour assembly starts the next day

As of 24:00 on October 31, there are 79 local confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia in Heihe City, and community transmission has occurred, and there is a risk of spread and spillover. In the border city war epidemic without gun smoke, nucleic acid testing, as one of the main bases for diagnosing the new crown pneumonia, is a battlefield that confronts the virus head-on, and the "FireEye" laboratory that has been put into use in more than 30 countries and regions around the world has appeared in Heihe.

"Fire Eye" also has a rapid speed, from receiving the task to the full assembly of less than 1 hour, covering inspection, nursing and logistics support a total of more than 30 people in Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital nucleic acid testing medical team rushed to Heihe, in the city reported the first case of local positive infection on the 27th on the day of arrival. At 2:30 a.m. on the 28th, the equipment was moved and installed, wiped clean and disinfected; at 4:50, the air was killed and the equipment was debugged; at 6:30, the tent was set up, and finally prepared... After staying up all night, the "Fire Eye" began pre-experiments at 9 o'clock on the 28th, and the specimen was officially received at 11 o'clock.

"Fire speed" is not only reflected in the rapid entry into battle, but also in the fact that it can quickly meet the needs of a large number of nucleic acid tests. The on-board "FireEye" mobile cabin laboratory breaks through the limitations of the site and has the characteristics of rapid response, rapid movement, rapid production, intelligent management, and expandable space. Since then, the "Fire Eye", which has won many military achievements in Wangkui, Bayan and other places, began to show its fists and feet in Heihe.

On November 1, the china news agency front reporting group first met "behemoth", which resembled a "transformer" that combined the PCR laboratory and a large truck in the form of a car trailer, driving all the way from Harbin into the Heihe River, extending two "arms" from the left and right sides of the "body", which is the stairway for staff to the cabin.

Chen Peng, vice president of Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital and commander-in-chief of the Heihe Medical Team, made an image analogy: "The name of the laboratory, 'Fire Eye', taken from Sun Wukong's 'Golden Eye of Fire Eye' in Journey to the West, can accurately identify various viruses. Chen Peng said that since the Heihe war epidemic, the laboratory has had positive samples detected every day, which is very close to the virus, and the staff are in high-risk positions.

At 14:00 on the same day, in the first district of the fire eye car, the inspector Cai Shengnan was preparing the test reagent; in the third district on the other side, the inspector Di Zhiyong was observing the test results. Chen Peng told the China News Service reporter that the nucleic acid detection process is complicated and cumbersome, and it is necessary to go through sample verification, sample inactivation, nucleic acid extraction, system preparation, machine amplification, and finally obtain analysis results.

The "fire eye" advantageous instrument, a single day detection volume of about 30,000 people

Although it is a vehicle-mounted laboratory, it has a "complete set of functions", and the four cabins are responsible for reagent preparation, sample sampling, nucleic acid extraction, amplification and judgment of experimental testing tasks. At present, the laboratory has a daily test volume of about 30,000 people, and the maximum daily test volume can reach 50,000 person-times, which accelerates and increases the efficiency of nucleic acid testing in Heihe City.

To ensure accurate results, each batch of samples undergoes a rigorous "testing journey" – 3 to 4 hours of screening. If an abnormal sample appears, the time may be extended to about 6 hours. Inspector Cai Shengnan said: "We work until 2 a.m. every day, sometimes even 4 a.m. The winter nights in the Black River are frozen, and from the work area to the stripping room to the changing room, the road is frozen and shivering. ”

Since receiving the support mission, the "Fire Eye" responded at the first time, organized at the first time, set off at the first time, arrived at the first time, put into battle at the first time, and gave the test results at the first time... Each "first" has "increased the chips" for the victory of the epidemic in China's border city of Heihe. (End)
