How to do a Nasopharyngeal Swab?
Nucleic acid detection is to collect Nasopharyngeal swabs, sputum or lower respiratory tract specimens, real-time fluorescence RT-PCR detection of New Coronavirus nucleic acid, if positive, can be diagnosed with New Coronavirus infection, which is the basis for the diagnosis of new type of pneumonia. In addition to detecting the nucleic acid of the virus, it can also detect whether the virus in the specimen is highly homologous with New Coronavirus. If so, it can be diagnosed as New Coronavirus pneumonia. The virus is highly infectious and has the characteristics of human to human transmission, but the virus is sensitive to temperature and sunlight and ultraviolet rays.

Nucleic acid detection and collection method:
(nucleic acid detection nasal swab)
1. Ask the patient to keep his head still and remove the secretions on the surface of the anterior nostril. The collector can stand on the side of the collector to reduce occupational exposure caused by coughing and sneezing and relieve the collector’s pressure.
2. Measure the distance from nostril to ear root with a swab and mark it by hand.
3. Gently insert the swab into the nostril in the direction perpendicular to the nose (face) through the nasal cavity, with a sense of touching the wall until the finger touches the nose, keep the swab in the nose for 15-30 seconds, and then rotate it gently for 3 times.
4. Put the swab into the virus delivery medium, break the swab rod and place it completely in the tube.
5. Tighten the pipe cover, mark it, put it in a plastic bag and seal it.
6. Send the samples for examination in time
1. With the aid of tongue depressor, the collector opens his mouth and makes an “ah” sound. The palate is lifted up to expose the posterior pharyngeal wall. The swab crosses the root of the tongue to reach the pharyngeal stenosis lesion, and quickly wipe the palatal arch, pharyngeal and tonsil secretions on both sides.
2. The nasopharynx swab was put into the virus delivery medium, and the auxiliary tube cover broke the swab rod to make it completely placed in the tube.
3. Tighten the pipe cover, mark it, put it in a plastic bag and seal it.
4. Send the samples for examination in time.
