Q&A 

Question: What are the prerequisites for users to carry out 2019-nCoV testing? 

Answer:1.The user needs a special molecular laboratory. 

2.A PCR amplification instrument with four channels or more is required. 

3.An automatic nucleic acid extraction instrument is required. (If there is no full-automatic instrument, manual extraction is also possible, but the manual extraction process is  more complicated, requiring technical staff to train customers, and manual extraction needs to provide auxiliary  equipment such as a magnetic stand. Manual extraction is not recommended in the early stage, and the company  waits for notification afterwards.)

Question:What types of PCR amplification equipment can match our reagents?

Answer:1.Theoretically,the instrument has four or more fluorescence detection channels.At  present,it is clear:ABI 7500,ABI Q5,Roche Lightcycler 480II,Hongshi SLAN-96P,SLAN-96S 

2.If the user does not have the above-mentioned instrument,the user's existing  instrument model + picture can be fed back to the marketing department, and the  marketing department will assist to determine whether the instrument can be used.Theoretically,Bio-rad,Hangzhou Bioer,and Xi'an Tianlong all have amplifiers with four  channels or more.

Question: What are the end users of 2019-nCoV? 

Answer: The main end users are the inspection department and the centers for  Disease Control.

Question:What is the number of samples per hour for Maccura 2019-nCoV detection solution?

Answer:Extraction (Maccura Auto Extraction) + Amplification:96 samples in 2 hours
