A nucleic acid detection reagent instrument that can be made at home is coming out soon. What is the significance of this appearance?

The epidemic has only occurred in many parts of the country, so it has become a daily necessity for people to do nucleic acid testing when traveling. However, if they often go to hospitals and communities for testing, it will be difficult and time-consuming for free, and it will also increase the risk of infection. Therefore, experts have now developed a test reagent that can self-test nucleic acids at home. The advent of this kind of self-test and acid reagent is very good news for ordinary people, so that they don't have to go to the hospital to do nucleic acid, and there are some.

First, nucleic acid detection reagent instruments that can be made at home will be available soon.

On February 26, 2022, the president of West China College of Sichuan University told the reporter that with the joint efforts and cooperation of experts from West China Hospital, a portable and faster nucleic acid detection reagent instrument has been developed, so that citizens can do their own nucleic acid detection at home. The instrument is about the size of a lighter, and the results can be obtained in about 40 minutes after testing, which is very convenient.

Second, what is the significance of the appearance of this nucleic acid detection instrument?

The advent of this self-test nucleic acid detection instrument is really a good thing for ordinary people, so that everyone can check at home without waiting in line to go to the hospital or go to the city for testing. If the test is positive at home, it will be more convenient to go to the hospital for further screening and diagnosis, and everyone will travel faster to do nucleic acid, which can greatly save time and cost. And for those patients infected with COVID-19 virus, they can receive isolation and preventive treatment earlier. This new nucleic acid detection reagent is disposable, low cost and affordable for the general public. The instrument will officially meet with you in the first half of 2022, so Bian Xiao also reminds you here that although nucleic acid detection will be much more convenient then, you can't relax in the face of the epidemic. Wear a mask, wash your hands frequently and do a good job in health prevention and control.
