Tianjin introduced fluorescent PCR detector to quickly check bird flu virus

An instrument for rapid detection of avian influenza virus was put into use at the Tianjin Broiler Production Base. According to the technician, using this instrument can detect whether the broiler has a virus within 1 hour and 54 minutes.

This unobtrusive machine was seen in the laboratory of Kangdi Wanda (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. in Xiqing District. The person in charge of the company said that although the machine is not large, it is imported from abroad for more than 400,000 yuan. Its full name is “Fluorescence Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction Detector” (fluorescence PCR detector) It is a testing device for avian influenza virus.

This dark blue instrument has only one printer size, and the small drawer below is the reagent container. According to laboratory technicians, don't look at the small size of this instrument, but whether the broiler contains avian influenza virus depends on it.

Detection of avian influenza virus program

First, use a cotton swab to contact the body fluid of the broiler (such as nasal mucus, etc.), then add a series of reagents such as lysate and hidden matter, put them into the instrument for 7 steps of decomposing protein and purifying, and finally put them into the detector. After 1 hour and 54 minutes, if a flashing tape appears on the instrument, it indicates that the sample is positive, indicating that the product is likely to be infected with the bird flu virus, and the company will immediately report it to the relevant department and seal all the birds to ensure that it is ensured. The security of the final product entering the market.
