    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] On November 3, 2020 China Biotechnology Innovation Conference was held in Suzhou.
    *In his video speech, Zhong Nanshan, academician and winner of the "Medal of the Republic", highlighted the important role of biotechnology innovation in the prevention and control of the epidemic this year.
    Not only in the fight against sudden epidemics, but with the development of my country's biotechnology, research results in this field have played a positive role in promoting my country's economic development in many aspects such as the environment, medical care, and resources.

    "The 21st century is the century of biology", the prophecy of the last century is becoming a reality.
    The consumption of fossil energy and the environmental problems it brings, the acceleration of social aging, and the increasing threat of major chronic diseases to human health, these major problems in modern society can all be solved by biotechnology.
    Emerging biological industries such as bioenergy, biomedicine, and genetically modified crops will be the driving force for human society to enter the next era.

     

    Currently, major countries and economies in the world are deploying bio-industry, and my country is no exception.
    In 2016, the "13th Five-Year Plan" proposed "Development of high-efficiency biotechnology, focusing on the deployment of innovative breakthroughs and application development of cutting-edge biotechnology.
    " In the past five years, my country has continuously launched various scientific and technological programs and increased its investment in innovation in the field of biotechnology.
    , Has promoted the progress of scientific research in the biological field of our country and the rapid development of the biological industry.

     

    From the perspective of the overall development scale of the bio-industry, the scale of my country's bio-industry has exceeded 3.
    5 trillion yuan in 2015, and the industrial scale is expected to reach 8 to 10 trillion yuan in 2020, and by 2030, China's bio-industry will account for GDP The proportion may even reach about 15%.

     

      The broad development prospects of the biological industry have also brought huge room for development to the instrument industry.
    Whether it is basic biological science research or industrial production and application, related scientific instruments are indispensable, such as biological microscopes for studying cell structure, biological mass spectrometry for proteomics analysis, and gene sequencing for genome detection。 Instrument etc.
    The development of biotechnology and the biological industry not only means that the market demand for these scientific research instruments will greatly increase, but also enables these instruments to break through the existing technological level.
    The development of scientific instruments and the biological industry are complementary to each other.

     

      Facing the huge opportunity, is my country's instrument industry ready? my country is still highly dependent on imports for the equipment and reagents needed for research in the frontier fields of biotechnology.
    This is one of the main shortcomings of my country's biotechnology innovation and development.
    It affects the competitiveness of my country's biotechnology innovation products in the market.
    At the same time, it also makes the development of my country's biotechnology "stuck" by others at any time.

     

      On the one hand, domestically-made instruments should quickly expand themselves from the development opportunities of the biological industry, and on the other hand, they must strengthen R&D and innovation, and strive to achieve localization in scientific research instruments.
    At present, the domestic high-throughput gene sequencer has reached the * level, driving the development of my country's gene field.
    For instruments and equipment such as biological mass spectrometry and microscopes, there is still a big gap between my country's technology and foreign countries, and it is hard to beat them in a short time.

     

      Fortunately, the development of basic research in the field of biology in my country is becoming faster and faster.
    In 2019, the number of applications and authorizations in the field of biotechnology in my country have ranked second and first respectively.
    Although the road ahead is difficult, domestic instruments are still advancing through obstacles.
