With the intense progress of nucleic acid testing, a medical staff entered the public’s field of vision. “The post-95 nucleic acid testing personnel twisted the cap of the test tube with one hand more than 2,000 times overnight.” To extract a test tube sample, it needs to be unscrewed and tightened once. In order to speed up the nucleic acid detection With the speed, she has acquired the ability to twist the lid with one hand, which shows us the difficulty of nucleic acid detection.
These seemingly trivial and trivial operations, especiay under the premise of large-scale screening, will affect the progress of the new crown nucleic acid detection, and at the same time, frequent contact with samples due to manual operations will also generate a certain risk of infection.
In novel coronavirus nucleic acid testing, sample cup-splitting is the most labor-intensive operation with the highest risk of infection, which is an important factor limiting the ability of nucleic acid testing. With the increase of the number of nucleic acid testing, the large amount of nucleic acid testing, the problem of low artificial efficiency is becoming more and more obvious. In view of this phenomenon, OLABO launched the BK-PR48 Automated Sample Processing System to assist the laboratory to rapidly improve the capacity of large-scale nucleic acid testing and contribute to national COVID-19 prevention and control.
BK-PR48 is a professional automated sample processing system for sample sampling tubes, which is mainly applicable to all kinds of screw-cap sampling tubes. The original tube is installed on the machine with a cover, and the experimenter does not touch the samples in the whole process. It only takes 30 minutes to complete the cupping of 96 samples at one time. Applicable to COVID-19 prevention and control, clinical testing, routine scientific research, disease control system, food safety.
1.Safe and reliable tailored for new coronavirus nucleic acid detection
The OLABO automatic Cup-splitting system is specifically designed for novel Coronavirus nucleic acid testing. It integrates a large number of manual steps into a closed system that can open, unload and close the cap with a single button, requiring only manual sample placement. The system supports direct sampling of pharyngeal swabs and nasal swab samples without prior swab removal. The air-tight anti-drip design and AI vision system provide accurate measurement, enabling efficient, stable and reliable transfer of COVID-19 samples. After the samples are repacked, the cap closing module will immediately seal and recycle the sample collection tube. During the whole process, the experimental personnel had no contact with the new coronavirus samples, which maximized the safety of the operators. It can also be embedded in a biological safety cabinet to effectively prevent aerosol pollution.
2.Automatic and efficient to provide powerful tool support for large-scale detection
BK-PR48 is equipped with cap opening, cap closing, sample cupping, protease K addition. The cooperative processing of the two mechanical arms can complete the single sample in 20 seconds by cup, eliminating the tedious pre-processing process and reducing the workload of the experimental personnel. It also supports multi-sample mixing, laying the foundation for mass screening and the NHC’s goal of reducing the time for fever clinics to issue nucleic acid test reports to 4 hours.
3.Independent research and development to help localized anti-epidemic equipment
BK-PR48 fully embodies OLABO’s independent research and development capabilities. A single sample can be dispensed in 20 seconds. Two BK-PR48s can accurately dispense nearly 10,000 samples within 24 hours of operation. In addition, its degree of automation is also very high. One machine integrates the whole process of new crown sample distribution, and can be matched with OLABO Automatic Nucleic Acid Extraction Qquipment BK-AutoHS96, which further improves the degree of automation and accelerates the detection speed of samples. It provides a complete automation solution for the current large population detection, which greatly relieves the space pressure, time pressure and personnel pressure of the testing laboratory. The degree of automation is as high as more than 80%, providing powerful testing equipment for the front-line anti-epidemic.
