Nucleic acid positive report takes at least 12 hours. How to improve the efficiency of nucleic acid detection?

As the authoritative detection method in COVID-19, nucleic acid detection is still the authoritative standard to judge the confirmed cases from the perspective of fighting the epidemic situation, although it has the shortcomings of long detection time and low positive rate. As for the detection efficiency, it can actually be achieved by the traditional means of increasing the number of detection personnel. After all, after continuous research and optimization, the time of nucleic acid detection has been greatly shortened. In the case that the technical level cannot be improved obviously for the time being, it is an effective measure to increase the input of detection reagents and increase the number of detection personnel to avoid affecting the epidemic prevention effect.

As we all know, COVID-19 nucleic acid detection kit was listed during the Spring Festival. After receiving the relevant data, researchers from all over the country entered the stage of research and development and production non-stop. It is precisely because the research and development time of the kit is very short, and there are still many unknown places in the virus, which shows the shortcomings of low positive rate and long detection time. In fact, according to the current detection methods in Wuhan, the defect that the detection period is at least 12 hour has been successfully overcome. At the same time of increasing the investment in kits and increasing the number of detection personnel, most of the original accumulated suspected cases have been detected.

With the scientific research and medical workers' understanding of COVID-19 gradually deepened, the detection methods and products will naturally break through or even increase, which has virtually played a substantial role in improving the detection efficiency. As for the nucleic acid detection technology that is still widely used at present, it will be continuously improved on the basis of in-depth research. In other words, it may be difficult to improve the efficiency of nucleic acid detection in a short time, but it will promote the emergence of different detection products to some extent.

As an ordinary person, detection efficiency is not concerned. After all, the focus of public attention is on specific drugs and treatments. After all, it is difficult to develop a successful vaccine in a short time, and the whole epidemic is also entering a trend of decreasing confirmed cases. Because the current detection intensity can meet the detection needs of various places, it is not necessary to care about the change of detection time.
