On December 12, 2019, the first case of unexplained pneumonia was found in Wuhan, and then unexplained pneumonia was found in many hospitals. On December 31, experts from the National Health Commission announced that the recently found unexplained pneumonia was viral pneumonia. In January 7, 2020, the expert group initially assessed the virus as New Coronavirus and obtained the complete genome sequence of the virus. On January 10, virus related genome information was shared to virologic Org and GenBank.
As of 22 January 19th, Wuhan reported 198 cases of pneumonia caused by New Coronavirus. In the early hours of January 20th, Beijing, Guangdong and Wuhan released New Coronavirus pneumonia in succession. Among them, 136 cases were newly confirmed in Wuhan on the 18th and 19th, one in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province and two in Daxing District, Beijing. What is coronavirus? Why does everyone talk about it? Coronavirus is a positive chain single stranded RNA virus with envelope, with a diameter of about 80-120nm. It has a envelope. There are spinous processes on the envelope. The whole virus looks like the corona under the microscope. Therefore, it is named coronavirus. Its genetic material is the largest of all RNA viruses, and only infects vertebrates such as human, mouse, pig, cat, dog and poultry. In 2003, a variant of coronavirus caused severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Another variant is the culprit of Middle East respiratory syndrome (mers). The outbreak of New Coronavirus in Southern China seafood market in Wuhan is different from that of human coronavirus. Its specific characteristics need further research and discovery by scientists. In response to the detection of the epidemic (COVID-19), Shenzhen Shineway Technology Co., Ltd. has studied and developed the first time for obtaining the virus sequence, and launched the New Coronavirus nucleic acid detection kit(double fluorescent probe PCR) (number: SW-nCoV-01). It can be applied not only to large PCR instruments in the central testing laboratory, but also to the portable microfluidic chip PCR instrument independently developed by Shineway to realize the on-site rapid detection of epidemic situation. Shenzhen Shineway Technology Co., Ltd. is a national high-tech enterprise integrating the research, development and production of microfluidic biological detection chips, detection instruments and reagents. The processing system can realize on-site real-time rapid pathogenic microorganism detection. From sampling to testing results, the entire process can be compressed to less than 1 hour at the earliest. The whole process is simple to operate, no need to send samples, and real on-site real-time detection is realized!
The product is equipped with a wireless transmission system. The mobile terminal can load the specially developed epidemic data management app, establish the contact between the mobile phone and the equipment through wireless transmission, and transmit the detected data to the mobile terminal in real time for data management and cloud upload, so as to realize the real-time monitoring and emergency response of the emergency headquarters for major outbreaks. The company's products have obtained a number of certifications, including international CE certification, ISO9001 international quality system certification, ISO 13485 medical device system certification and China Academy of Inspection and Quarantine product evaluation certification. As a pioneer in the field of rapid molecular diagnosis, Shineway will never forget his original intention, keep his mission in mind, keep a close watch on the development trend of COVID-19 in Wuhan, respond promptly and efficiently, assist the national disease surveillance system and medical and health institutions, and contribute to the national epidemic control work and people's health.
