"To scale-up the local nucleic acid testing capacity, MGI deployed its proprietary automation systems to Xiamen overnight, including MGISTP-7000 High-throughput Automated Sample Transfer Processing System, MGISP-NE384 High-throughput Automated Nucleic Acid Extractor, and MGISP-960 High-throughput Automatic Sample Preparation System." "With all equipments put into operation, the Huo-Yan lab in Xiamen can process 90,000 samples a day, and 900,000 sample a day if 10 mixed samples are pooled in one tube." Said Zeng Guangyi, Head of MGI South China.

"After receiving the assignment, our after-sales engineers arrived at Xiamen International Convention and Exhibition Center on September 14th, and everyone worked around the clock to complete the equipment debugging. On September 16, all the equipment successfully started running." Said Xu Guoyang, After-sales Engineer of MGI.


MGISP-960 High-throughput Automatic Sample Preparation System


MGI's highly automated systems can work 24 hours a day, which simplifies the labor-intensive and time-consuming procedures to enhance large-scale COVID-19 testing capacity. After the sample enters the laboratory, MGI automation systems can provide automatic management of the whole process from barcode identification, sample dispatch, nucleic acid extraction, and fluorescence quantitative PCR testing to report distribution, enabling a highly efficient streamlined workflow.
