Improve the sampling efficiency of nucleic acid!This small invention of Panyu District Central Hospital is officially put into production

When it comes to nucleic acid testing, many citizens are no stranger to. After each medical staff sample, the sampling rod needs to be placed in the test tube, and then the head of the sampling stick is broken. This operation seems simple, but splashing may occur during the break, there is a risk of infection, and it may also delay time because the sampling stick is difficult to break.

However, this situation will be improved. Recently, the practical new patent "a sampling tube" jointly invented by the emergency department of the Panyu District Central Hospital, the emergency department of the Panyu District Central Hospital, and Liang Yuxian were officially put into production.

New type of nucleic acid detection sampling tube

At the beginning of the epidemic, the two nurses of Ye Gen and Liang Yuxian actively participated in nucleic acid sampling work. They noticed that there was a difficult problem in the sampling rod during the sampling process, and this action had to be repeated hundreds of times.

Ye Gen said: "I was thinking at the time, if I improved the sampling tube, such as a bayonet, which made it a fixed discount position, so that the sampling rod can be more stable and easy to break. The risk of outer leakage reduces the incidence of occupational exposure infections, and can also shorten the time of nucleic acid collection. "

Ye Gen and Liang Yuxian's two nurse are designing sampling tubes

After the idea, Ye Gen and Liang Yuxian's two nurses were put into action. They designed 4 mounts at the sampling pipe port, and the size of each mount can be placed in a sampling stick. In this way, a sample stick with an exclusive location can be easily broken.

After many improvements, in October 2021, they submitted an application for practical new patents. In April this year, a practical new patent certificate was successfully obtained. At present, the "Technical Transfer (Patent Implementation License) Contract" contract with Guangzhou Bulian Si Medical Technology Co., Ltd. is officially put into production.

"One sampling tube" is approved as a practical new patent

Talent Xingyuan, Strong Court of Science and Technology. Panyu District Central Hospital has continuously strengthened the construction of talent teams and optimized the scientific research environment. In 2019, we jointly build a foundation and transformation joint laboratory with South China Normal University to establish central laboratories to support talent training, clinical and basic research. In the past 5 years, the hospital has obtained about 265 scientific research projects at all levels, and the disposable scientific research funding can be more than 1,500 million yuan, of which 4 are subject to the National Natural Science Foundation of China. At the same time, the hospital adheres to the combination of science and technology and promotion services, focuses on the transformation of results, and vigorously promotes scientific and technological services and cooperation. Since this year, the hospital has transformed a number of patented technologies.
