Scientists urgently developed an aerosol new coronavirus monitoring system to "find out" the virus within 40 minutes, which is 10 times more sensitive than conventional methods

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics are not only an important stage to showcase the Olympic spirit, but also an important platform to showcase the achievements of the Beijing International Science and Technology Innovation Center

In the transmission of epidemics caused by imported cases, environmental transmission such as aerosols and surfaces are very important transmission routes

Detection sensitivity is 10 times that of conventional methods

Yesterday, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily saw this bioaerosol new coronavirus nucleic acid monitoring system in the bioaerosol detection laboratory of Beijing Zhongguancun Life Science Park.

The integrated high-sensitivity new coronavirus nucleic acid detector was developed by the team of Liu Peng, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Tsinghua University School of Medicine

Test match detection success rate 100%

The new technology needs to be verified by real swords and guns before it can finally go into battle

It is worth mentioning that the system has been widely used and verified in the Winter Olympics test competition, and has been optimized for the epidemic prevention conditions during the competition to meet the requirements of the Winter Olympics competition scene

Will provide comprehensive protection for the Winter Olympics

In order to further promote the application of this technology in the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission took the lead, together with the Beijing CDC, the Municipal Food and Drug Administration, the Market Supervision Administration, the Municipal Metrology Institute and other units and experts from various fields to clarify the Market access conditions and safety issues in use of the technology

A reporter from Beiqing Daily learned that the project has been selected through layers of the Science and Technology Winter Olympics and has been identified as one of the projects implemented by all the venues of the Science and Technology Winter Olympics
