The highest daily detection throughput is 2 million copies!

Recently, at the invitation of the Nanjing New Coronary Pneumonia Joint Prevention and Control Headquarters, BGI quickly assembled anti-epidemic veterans to build the Nanjing "Fire Eye" laboratory
.

On the evening of July 26, after overnight construction and commissioning, the Nanjing "Huoyan" laboratory was completely completed, located in the 8,000 square meters venue 11 of the third phase of the Nanjing International Expo Center
.

At present, the laboratory has been officially put into use, and the daily detection throughput can reach 200,000 single tubes.

This time, under the guidance of the Nanjing Municipal Health Commission, Nanjing "Huoyan" laboratory was constructed by Huada and Nanjing Construction Management Group.
After completion, Nanjing First Hospital will be responsible for operation.
Huada will provide technical support and jointly guarantee the experiment.
The room is operating normally
.

The laboratory adopts a shift operation mode to ensure efficient and accurate testing and guard people's lives and health

The Nanjing "Huoyan" laboratory consists of 12 negative pressure hard air capsules and 15 negative pressure soft air capsules
.

Among them, on July 24, the first batch of 2 sets of 6-chamber hard film laboratories began to be constructed, and the construction was completed within 6 hours

Nanjing "Fire Eye" Laboratory

The "Fire Eye" laboratory is a high-throughput nucleic acid testing laboratory built by BGI based on the needs of the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic, combined with years of accumulated core technology and laboratory operation experience
.

The air-film version of the "Huoyan" laboratory uses flame-retardant, wear-resistant, and highly stable PVC materials as the main building materials.
The air arch structure is formed by a double-layer air film to provide a negative pressure environment, which meets the requirements of BSL-2 laboratory.

Nanjing "Fire Eye" Laboratory

In order to improve the efficiency of large-scale nucleic acid detection, the "Huoyan" laboratory is equipped with a variety of automated anti-epidemic "black technologies" independently developed by MGI, which greatly improves the detection efficiency compared to manual operations
.

Among them, the MGISP-NE384 automatic nucleic acid extraction and purification instrument can effectively assist the extraction of viral nucleic acid, with a single-machine daily detection throughput of up to 10,000 cases, which greatly accelerates the laboratory's detection process

The MGISTP-7000 automatic sub-cup processing system can complete the automatic sub-packaging and information processing of 192 samples within 40 minutes, which solves the sample sub-packing process that is the most labor-intensive and the highest risk of infection in nucleic acid detection
.

The MGISP-960 high-throughput automated virus nucleic acid extraction equipment has undergone epidemic prevention and control verification in more than 50 countries around the world, and has powerful automated nucleic acid extraction functions and automated sequencing library preparation functions

BGI’s anti-epidemic practices in many places have proved that the “Huoyan” laboratory equipped with high-throughput automated equipment has outstanding performance in solving the speed-limiting steps of nucleic acid extraction, replacing manual labor, reducing the risk of infection, and improving standardization
.

Up to now, the "Huoyan" laboratory has been established in many major cities such as Beijing, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, and Guangzhou
.

As the "China business card" for the fight against the epidemic with science and technology, the "Huoyan" laboratory has also moved from China to the world.
It has established more than 80 locations in nearly 30 countries and regions around the world, and has become the "outpost" for the international community to jointly respond to the new crown epidemic.
Assist the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic and make positive contributions to the public health of various countries and regions
