With Chinese officials further relaxation of crown disease prevention and control restrictionsIt is required to reduce the scope and frequency of nucleic acid detection, and encourage the development of antigen detection (ART, or antigen self -test). The nucleic acid detection that was once an important part of China's "dynamic clearance" was quietly exited.

Antigen reagent or main detection method

Chinese official Wednesday (7th), "New Ten Articles" mentioned that it will noCode, no longer launch an off -site inspection.Do not conduct all -staff nucleic acid testing according to the administrative area, and can conduct antigen detection.

Release the guidelines for home therapy again on Thursday, clarify that home therapy personnel reported antigen self -test and results according to the relevant epidemic prevention requirements.

The China State Council's joint defense joint control mechanism also issued a notice on printing and distribution of new crown virus antigen detection application solutions on the same day, and explained in detail the application scheme against the original detection.It is clear that those who are positive for antigen detection report the positive results to the primary medical and health institutions in the local area, and then choose home isolation or treatment according to the severity of the symptoms; antigen detection negatives can work, study, and live normally.In other words, Chinese officials began to recognize the results of antigen testing, and no longer based on nucleic acid results.

Chengdu, Guangzhou, Beijing, Chongqing and other places have also encouraged home to bring their own antigen kits.EssenceDingdang Express Data shows that in late November, the order volume of the weekly antigen kit of Dingdang Express increased by more than eight times compared with the early days.The person in charge of JD Health also said that from November 28th to December 4th, the turnover of JD Health's antigen detection kit increased by 344%last week.

According to a number of Chinese media reports, multiple community group purchase groups in Beijing conducted antigen test reagent group purchases. The initiator of the group purchase said on Monday that the Oriental gene antigen test agent was 55 yuan (RMB, the same below, about 11 S $ 11)A box, a box of 60 yuan for the Wanfu biological antigen test agent, 20 in each box.The group purchase was launched for an hour, and more than 30 residents in the community group placed an order, and there were also outsiders in the future.

Many pharmacy staff also said that the antigen reagent is generally more tight.Some pharmacy staff said that it was out of stock last week. At present, the dealer has no spot at hand. "I want to buy a call for two days to ask."There are also pharmacies that only support individuals and family purchases, do not support the unit to buy, and need to scan the code on the box.

Sales staff in an antigen detection kit in East China said in an interview that the current status of the industry is unable to keep up with production capacity. "Recently, the list is too concentrated."

A representative of an antigen manufacturer also said that before Saturday, they were the confession unit of the local government.Radiation to the country, there were 2.6 million people in stock at that time.As of the 5th, the discharge volume has exceeded millions of people.Due to the limitation of production capacity, it can only ship at most 500,000 people a day, and the delivery date has been ranked at least half a month.

The Chinese market of antigen reagents

Compared with the detection nucleic acid testing of the test of the virus genetic material RNA, the antigen reagent on the protein on the virus surface is cheap and more convenient.Professionals need to be achieved in 10 to 20 minutes, but the disadvantage is that the sensitivity is relatively low, about 70%to 80%of the former.

antigen testing is not new. In the early days of Omikon's mutant strains, many countries such as the United States, Australia, Singapore and other countries began to purchase a large number of antigen kits and used them widely among the people.

However, the antigen test has developed slowly in China. China News Weekly cited Tang Berlin, sales director of Ningbo Dashi Life Technology Co., Ltd. in January this year, explained that because there is almost no fast testing market in China, nucleic acid testing is the only one."Gold Standard" recognized by Chinese officials.

The National Health and Health Commission of China announced on March 11 this this this time that the antigen detection is added as a supplement on the basis of nucleic acid detection.Zhang Wenhong also wrote a article at the time that after the appearance of Omikon, the detection of nucleic acid was difficult to keep up with the speed of virus transmission. If it rely entirely on nucleic acid, it would face certain difficulties.

However, as nucleic acid detection is more in accordance with China's "dynamic clearing" requirements, antigen detection has not been promoted in large quantities.

However, Chinese officials have gradually opened the antigen kit since then.As of November last year, the China Pharmaceutical Supervision Bureau only approved a total of three antigen detection products, and the Health and Health Commission made the above decision the next day.EssenceAs of December 5, this number has three times more than 36, including colloidal gold, latex and immune layers, magnetic particle chemical lighting methods, etc. The brands include Wanfu Biology, Nuo Weizan, hot -ora -view biology and OlympicsThai biology and so on.

Before the official introduction of the "New Ten Articles" in China, the 21st Century Economic Herald quoted Sino -Thailand Securities analysis on Tuesday that if the domestic antigen self -test kit was officially released, the combinationIn the case, the procurement demand for coronary antigen detection products reaches 56 billion yuan, and the annual demand will reach 600 billion yuan.

"The market size of the antigen reagent will reach 600 billion yuan" once rushed to Weibo hot search, causing heated discussion among netizens.

In fact, before this wave of hot sales, the antigen kit made in China has created multiple performance myths in overseas markets.

Among them, antigen reagent manufacturers Jiu'an Medical's performance has increased last year. The annual report shows that the company achieved revenue of 2.397 billion yuan, an increase of 19.36%year -on -year; operating profit of 1.03 billion yuan, an increase of 320.20%year -on -year;909 million yuan, an increase of 274.96%year -on -year.

The company's six -year report this year shows that the company's revenue in the first half of the year was 23.267 billion yuan, a year -on -year increase of 3989.07%; net profit attributable to mother was 15.244 billion yuan, a year -on -year increase of 27728.49%.

Nucleic acid detection is sadly exited?

After the signal of the shift of epidemic prevention policies in China, many cities began to suspend or remove nucleic acid detection stations last weekend.On the Internet, many netizens lamented that the "full nucleic acid era" finally ended.

In the past three years, the nucleic acid test of the daily life of the Chinese people has been recognized by the Chinese people and has also made contributions for China's "dynamic clearing zero".

But with the frequent negative news such as fakes and laboratory management, the complex commercial interests behind the nucleic acid testing industry chain also surfaced, and "nucleic acid" began to become the target of criticism.

It is sighing that when the antigen test is difficult to find in the market, the first closure company appeared in the nucleic acid industry in the market.

According to reports, a man recently submitted a report to the Beijing Fangshan Labor Arbitration Commission that "accusing his company's owed salary of 62,600 yuan" has received a reply that "the company has no property available for execution."The man accused Pu Shi Medicine, which had previously been revoked by the laboratory permit of the laboratory due to nucleic acid fraud.

In fact, the epidemic in China continued to heat up in September this year. When many places conducted a larger scope of full -member nucleic acid testing, large nucleic acid companies reported that it was difficult to get payment on time.The risk of being canceled into bad debts is getting greater.

With the normalization of China's farewell to nucleic acid detection, a number of listed companies involved in nucleic acid detection stated that they would return their business to the conventional business before the epidemic.One company said that business atrophy will not have an impact on this year's performance. This impact will not be seen until next year.

antigen meetingIs it the next nucleic acid?

The chaos behind the nucleic acid testing industry has been criticized by netizens as "national difficulties". Now the rosper of the antigen has risen. Some netizens are worried that they will cut chives in a different way.

However, some netizens pointed out that antigen is voluntarily purchased, and it will not be limited to entering and exiting the place of entry and exit because it does not make the antigen, which may avoid it the fate of the next nucleic acid.

Some people with the medical industry believe that the ahead of the car with nucleic acids, now the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Shanghai Stock Exchange have also introduced the corresponding regulatory strategy for this."Antigen disorder".
