Rapid testing of coffee and alcohol sensitive genes, real-time ultrasound examination of health "signals"... These tests, which can only be completed in professional testing departments of medical institutions, can also be achieved on-site at the 3rd China International Supply Chain Promotion Expo (hereinafter referred to as the "Chain Expo"). On July 18th, Huada Group launched the "Innovative Product Matrix from Gene Decoding to Intelligent Diagnosis" at the "Chain Expo Launch Station", providing many previously difficult to reach health "signals" in a short period of time. A person's alcohol metabolism ability is closely related to genetic variations encoding ethanol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase. ”Peng Huanhuan, Vice President and General Manager of Huada Intelligent Manufacturing in China, told Science and Technology Daily reporters that in order to make genetic testing as convenient as blood glucose and blood pressure testing, the team has developed a "micro sequencing" technology with independent intellectual property rights. On site, many exhibitors participated in the alcohol gene rapid testing experience activity. The audience only needs a simple self-service sampling, and after 20 minutes, they can see the report on the detection and evaluation of innate alcohol metabolism ability. If all five lights of the mini sequencer are on, it's the 'God of Wine', and only one light is on, it means the alcohol tolerance is not very good. ”Peng Huanhuan said that sequencing technology is approaching ordinary people, and the category of portable sequencers that only require minimal operation and strong environmental adaptability has achieved "going up the mountain and down the sea, ready to use out of the box". For example, the E25 gene sequencer can operate stably on Mount Everest and has also followed the "Exploration One" scientific research ship to complete scientific research missions in the Mariana Trench area, which is thousands of meters deep. On the "debut station", an ultrasound device only the size of a mobile phone aroused the interest of the audience. This pocket sized ultrasound device weighs only 275 grams, slightly heavier than our phones. It is a visual instrument that doctors can carry with them, "said Zhang Hong, the product manager of Huada Intelligent Manufacturing. The curved end is a convex array probe, mainly used to explore deep organs such as the liver and gallbladder, while the flat end is a linear array probe, which can explore superficial tissues such as the thyroid, breast, and blood vessels. The device can quickly connect with a mobile phone for real-time imaging. When grassroots doctors encounter difficult and complicated diseases, they can conduct remote consultations with experts based on the generated images. ”Zhang Hong introduced that in order to reduce the missed diagnosis rate, the equipment also provides intelligent auxiliary diagnosis function, which automatically measures, labels and grades lesions. Mini sequencers and intelligent handheld ultrasound have made high-end medical technology increasingly accessible. The combination of life science, computational science, and artificial intelligence provides more accurate and effective solutions for human health problems, "said Yin Ye, CEO of Huada Group. Innovation should not only promote technological breakthroughs, but also fully value accessibility, allowing everyone to test genes, store cells, adjust microbiota, and use neuroscience to manage emotions. This requires the construction of a healthy ecosystem. As the 'chain leader' in the field of gene sequencing equipment in China, BGI Intelligent Manufacturing has over 3300 users, covering scientific research and clinical fields. Based on our devices and applications, the latest scientific research results are published every day. ”Peng Huanhuan introduced that through independent research and development of core technologies, full industry chain layout, and open ecological construction, Huada Intelligent Manufacturing has established an alliance, formulated industry standards, and promoted the application of high-precision and cutting-edge technologies in public health, healthy living, and other fields. Participating in the Chain Expo will further strengthen the resilience of cooperation among all parties and promote the accelerated landing of life technology. (New Society)
