The Wuhan pneumonia (new coronavirus disease, COVID-19) Epidemic in Japan has not yet subsided, but a new innovative industry and academic cooperation, the development of only 2 minutes to know whether the Wu lung virus infection detection method, the future can be widespread, will be able to diagnose the disease as early as possible, making The prevention of epidemic work more accurate.
According to Japan’s Kyodo News, the biological start-up company “MYTECH” and Okinawa University of the Ryukyus collaborated to visualize the virus, so that the virus can be detected by general microscopy. The research team used nanotechnology to create crystals, mixed the fluorescent material with the test samples collected from patients, and then the mixed samples were dropped onto the crystals to light, the fluorescent material attached to the virus will therefore glow, using a general microscope can also be distinguished whether there is a virus.
The research team collected samples from 175 people to test, and more than 80% of the test results were consistent with the PCR test results. Samurai Kaneshiro, an assistant professor at the University of the Ryukyus Graduate School of Medicine, pointed out that this test is quick and easy, and is very useful when a large number of patients need to be tested. The future in the continued improvement of detection accuracy and universal use, will make Japan’s epidemic prevention work more accurate, but also early screening for confirmed patients with martial lung.
