Vietnam was the first country to successfully create the Corona virus rapid test kit in 70 minutes

On 7/2 in Hanoi, two scientists. Le Quang Hoa and TS. Nguyen Le Thu Ha announces the results of her successful study of the Corona Virus RT-LAMP Rapid Test Kit Corona virus

The RT-LAMP bio-product is a nucleic acid isothermal amplification technique specifically used to detect the RNA of pathogenic viruses.

Previously, to test nCoV infections and suspected cases , Vietnam applied a gene sequencing test method that took 3-5 days. Then, with the WHO test sample combined with the molecular biology test method, the test time was reduced to less than 9 hours.

The usual RT-PCR reaction in the WHO test sample takes 4 hours (240 minutes) for the whole procedure. But this work will produce results after only 70 minutes.

By the end of February 7, no country in the world has developed a rapid diagnostic bio-product; There is no specific treatment yet, as well as a vaccine to prevent coronavirus. The biological characteristics of this virus are also insufficient.

Vietnam is the first country to have a research project showing Corona Virus test results in just 70 minutes.

According to the research team, the RT-LAMP bio-product has the following outstanding advantages: simple equipment, high field applicability, high sensitivity and specificity (equivalent to real-time RT –PCR). . However, the development of biological products is quite complicated.

Sharing with the PV of the Legal Editorial Office Plus, Dr. Le Quang Hoa said: The research project has started from nearly 1 month ago with more than 10 members who have been trying hard to research all day and night to give it soon. The result of the work.

From the beginning, the team is very confident about the research, the problem here is just time, fortunately the results of the study do not depend on the expectation of the doctor as well as the whole group – Dr. Dr. Hoa shared more.

Currently, the research team is looking forward to support this research to put it into clinical trials. Since then, it has been put into mass production, contributing to rapid testing of Corona virus to district hospitals, not only in large hospitals and waiting for a long time because the disease situation is very serious and necessary.
