Hangzhou Bigfish Bio-tech Co., Ltd. successfully developed New Coronavirus test kit

01   Latest progress of epidemic situation
In December 2019, a series of unexplained viral pneumonia cases occurred in Wuhan. The incident was widely concerned by all walks of life. The pathogen was initially identified as a New Corona virus and was named “2019 New Corona virus (2019-nCoV)” by WHO.

WHO said in a statement on 16th that it had received a report on a case of New Corona virus confirmed by Japan. This is the second case after Thailand diagnosed a case of New Corona virus, which was found outside China.

The Wuhan Municipal Health Committee issued a circular on 19 November, saying that as calculated until 24 o’clock on 17th, Wuhan has reported 62 cases of pneumonia caused by New Corona virus, and 19 cases have been cured and discharged, 8 cases have been treated for severe cases, 2 cases have died, and the rest of the patients are in stable condition. The patients are receiving isolation treatment at the designated hospitals in Wuhan.

02   What is corona virus
Corona virus is a kind of pathogens that mainly cause respiratory tract and intestinal diseases. This kind of virus particles have many regularly arranged protrusions on the surface, and the whole virus particles are like a crown of an emperor, so it is named “corona virus”.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (mers-cov), which have caused serious epidemics before, can cause serious respiratory diseases.

03   Corona virus detection scheme
Hangzhou Bigfish Bio-tech Co., Ltd. has been following closely the progress of the epidemic since the outbreak of the disease. After the announcement of the genome sequence of Wuhan New Corona virus (2019-nCoV) by the state authority, the New Corona virus 2019-nCoV nucleic acid detection kit was successfully developed for the first time, providing a complete detection plan for New Corona virus detection.

Dual target detection
For New Corona virus, double probe primers were used to detect two specific region segments, which ensured the accuracy of detection and effectively prevented missed detection.

High sensitivity
The double probe primer combined with a new fluorescent probe can effectively improve the detection sensitivity of the kit, which is especially suitable for the detection and diagnosis of early patients.

Automatic detection
From extraction to amplification detection, the whole set of reagents were used to realize automatic detection.
