Recently, provinces and cities across China have been hit by strong cold air, leading to a peak period of respiratory diseases. The number of medical visitors in hospitals in many regions has surged, bringing enormous diagnosis and treatment pressure to medical institutions at all levels.

On December 24, the National Health Commission held a press conference to introduce the prevention and control of winter respiratory diseases in China.

At the press conference, Peng Zhibin, Director of the Respiratory Infectious Disease Office of the Infectious Disease Management Department of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, stated: Overall, the current acute respiratory diseases are dominated by influenza viruses, with the co-circulation of various other pathogens. Among them, influenza activity is at a high level but slightly declining; Mycoplasma pneumoniae, adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus activities show fluctuating changes; and COVID-19 activity is at the lowest level since the beginning of this year.

Different types of respiratory pathogens may cause different diseases, and the transmission modes and treatment methods of pathogens also vary. Rapid typing through nucleic acid detection can accurately identify the specific pathogens of infection, help doctors formulate more precise treatment plans, and improve the level of individualized treatment for patients.

Amid this wave of respiratory pathogen infections, e-commerce model-based respiratory pathogen testing has emerged. This cross-border cooperation model can quickly and effectively help identify infected persons, isolate sources of infection, and slow down virus transmission. In the post-COVID era, nucleic acid testing has also been "competed" to a new height, with major reagent manufacturers joining the queue of rapid reagent research and development. The emergence of this e-commerce + testing model in the post-COVID era has gradually highlighted the advantages of small-throughput rapid fluorescent quantitative PCR instruments, which are highly consistent with the market demand for rapid, accurate and point-of-care testing.

Archimed Mini

Assists in Rapid and Accurate Detection of Respiratory Pathogens

Archimed Mini series instruments are rapid and portable fluorescent quantitative PCR instruments meticulously built by Rocgene.
