During the novel coronavirus epidemic, medical staff and scientific researchers on the frontline have been the most admirable heroes. It is of paramount importance to protect them from the virus, especially amid sampling and testing. Without professional protective equipment, they will be directly exposed to the virus.

To tackle these challenges, Haier Biomedical has provided laboratory safety solutions to multiple expert groups including the military medical expert group and the National Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention, at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Haier biosesafety cabinets are installed in laboratories and mobiles testing vehicles to provide protection for scientific researchers.  

Build tent labs with Chen Wei research team

On 31stJanuary, China was expending great efforts in combating Covid-19. Chen, Wei, a researcher at The Academy of Military Medical Sciences of the PLA Academy of Military Science and member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that the mobiles tent Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) laboratories had been put into operation in the morning. They increased the testing speed and shortened waiting time by utilizing domestically developed testing kits and automatic nucleic acidsampling technology.

Although the mobiles labs feature a higher biosesafety level, the expert group is still faced with risks of infection. To reduce the risks, Haier Class II A2 Biosesafety Cabinets were installed as protective equipment for the novel coronavirus testing and the research on vaccine antibodies.

Apart from the mobiles tent lab,the frontline military medical expert group in Wuhan, had another secret weapon - mobiles testing vehicles. They are viewed as reinforced mobiles tent labs. Simply put, they installed a mobiles tent lab on the chassis of a trailer which can be deployed to the epidemic area and start testing immediately.  

Like in the tent lab, researchers in the mobiles testing vehicle are also faced with the risk of infection. Therefore, inside the mobiles testing vehicle in Wuhan, Haier biosesafety cabinets were installed to offer protection for scientific researchers.

Build a P3 negative pressure tent laboratory in Suifenhe City

As of mid-April, more Chinese were returning to China through Suifenhe Border Control in Heilongjiang Province. The local government was burdened with the pressure of dealing with importedCovid-19 cases. On 13thApril, in order to combat cross-border transmissions and support the local government, the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention dispatched an expert group of 15 people to Suifenhe City to build a P3 negative pressure tent laboratory.

On 12thApril, Haier Biomedical delivered biosesafety cabinets and reagent freezers, etc. to Suifenhe Center Disease Control and Prevention and supported the construction of the P3 negative pressure tent laboratory.

By utilizing Haier Biomedical’s new generation smart IoT biosesafety cabinets, users can book sterilization sessions with one touch on the app and ensure safety at all times. In addition, Haier biosesafety cabinets, with their innovative constant wind-flow technology, ensure the safety of the lab staff and the environment by maintaining a stable air curtain on the front window and preventing the inflow of lab air and the escape of microorganisms.

In combating Covid-19, labs and mobiles testing vehicles have provided a key technological platform for expert groups in their research and testing of the novel coronavirus. But direct contact with the virus also means the highest risk of infection. Haier Biosesafety Lab solutions build a biosesafety firewall between medical staff and scientific researchers to make sure that they can safely contact and test the virus.
