The fastest Corona test machine, China will conquer the world

A Chinese company has developed the "world's fastest machine" for coronavirus tests and plans to invade Europe and America.

In a Beijing laboratory, a worker in a pink coat takes a sample of a person's respiratory tract, adds reagents to it, and puts it into a black and white device the size of a printer.

This machine, which he called "Flash 20", costs 300 yuan (38 thousand euros), which can Dealing With four samples at the same time, it detects the presence of the Corona virus or not. Its result is issued within half an hour and the person who underwent the test receives it directly on his phone.

“The machine can be used in hospitals in the emergency department,” said Sabrina Lee, founder and CEO of Coyote, which developed the device. For example, when a wounded person has to undergo surgery. It can quickly determine whether he has an infection or not.”

Corona will never leave your body.. shocking information

And this 38-year-old former student in the United States, who founded her company in 2009, confirmed that it is, in fact, the fastest machine in the world to detect the emerging corona virus.

In China, airport authorities use it to control travelers from abroad. It has also been used by health authorities for months with the aim of testing residents of neighborhoods under quarantine due to COVID-19.

Trump tests

China, where the epidemic first appeared, confirms that it has succeeded in confronting the pandemic through strict quarantine measures, placing masks, and following up on infected people and their contacts.

But the epidemic is still spreading widely in other places in the world. The number of deaths crossed the one million mark on Monday.

Detecting infection is among the most effective ways to control the virus. PCR tests are considered the most accurate, but their results need a long time to appear. Therefore, other means must be used.

And US President Donald Trump announced, on Monday, that 150 million “rapid” tests will be provided across the United States, and the results of these tests can appear within 15 minutes.

However, it does not have the same accuracy as PCR tests.

Coyote officials confirm that Flash 20 is not only fast, but also reliable.

Between February and July, Chinese authorities conducted 500 active tests. It was found that its results (negative or positive) are 97% identical with the traditional BCR tests.

In addition to the certification obtained by the machine in China, "Flash 20" was approved by the European Union and Australia. The company that developed the device hopes to obtain approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Organization.

Meanwhile, two machines are being tested for medical approval in the UK. The company says that there are also "negotiations" with French parties to buy it.

But will developed countries be interested in a Chinese product?

"It is true that from a technological point of view, Western countries are more advanced than Asian countries, especially China," said Zhang Yuebang, a technical officer at Coyote.

But the "SARS" epidemic that spread between 2003 and 2004 caused a shock in the country, which led to the "reorganization" of this sector, which achieved remarkable progress in terms of research and development.

"So as soon as COVID-19 came out, we were able to conceptualize this machine and bring it to market quickly," Zhang added.

Not to mention the speed and accuracy of the “Flash 20”, this device is easy to use, as anyone can control it, unlike traditional tests that need to be performed by a specialized person.

However, the only obstacle that could face Coyote is the amount of production. The company can only produce 500 units per month. But it is working to double that number by the end of the year.
