Profits of nucleic acid testing institutions

in the first three quarters of p>222, the net profit of enterprises was about 86 billion yuan, up 6% year-on-year. Among them, the growth momentum of Jiu 'an Medical ranked first, with an increase of 321 times.

From the overall data, although 8% of nucleic acid detection is dominated by leading enterprises. However, some small institutions also drank a hot soup while eating meat in large enterprises, and the whole nucleic acid detection industry can be described as a prosperous occasion.

It's hard to believe that nine out of ten genetic testing institutions were losing money before the "mask incident". In just over two years, these enterprises can actually create the myth of annual profits of several billion.

It is a decision made by the state to allow the third party to carry out nucleic acid testing in order to alleviate the shortage of public resources to the greatest extent in the face of the severe situation at that time. Compared with the early days of the mask incident, the overall profit of today's nucleic acid testing institutions has declined.

With the maturity of technology, the cost of mixed sampling of nucleic acid by ten people is about 4 to 8 pieces, and the cost of single sampling is about 35 pieces. The current testing price is already the price after the three-year diving of the "mask".

The profit of nucleic acid testing institutions has declined, which is mainly related to the falling price of nucleic acid testing. The continuous decline in prices will compress the profit space of nucleic acid institutions. It is precisely for this reason that some nucleic acid testing institutions would rather risk the world's big things.

according to relevant data, by April 222, China had conducted 11.5 billion nucleic acid tests. Even as a China with a population base of 1.4 billion, this figure is quite amazing. If the whole country participates in nucleic acid making, everyone needs to do it eight times on average.

China's rural population is about 51 million people, and the number of nucleic acid tests for these people is relatively small. In some densely populated cities, "mask incidents" are relatively frequent, and the average number of nucleic acids of local residents is even as high as dozens.

according to the data of research institutions, the market size of nucleic acid testing in China will be about 13.2 billion in 221. It is expected to exceed 15 billion yuan in 222, but the profit is not proportional to the market size. The market scale of nucleic acid detection is closely related to the constant variation of virus, and the spread speed of virus is stronger than before, which leads to an increase in the number of nucleic acid detection.

where did the huge profits come from?

At present, China's nucleic acid detection institutions can handle 51 million samples in a single day. What is the concept of this data? If ten people are mixed and sampled into a tube, then at least the number of people who participate in nucleic acid testing every day will reach 1 million. It is obvious to everyone that nucleic acid testing can make money, so such enterprises have mushroomed everywhere.

We know that the profit of nucleic acid testing is directly related to the number of people tested and the number of times tested. The more people are tested every day, the closer they get to the peak, and the more money they will earn. In addition, the number of inspections per day also directly affects profits, so we have seen that there will be two inspections a day in some places.

nucleic acid testing is different from other industries. When other enterprises are in a difficult situation due to the "mask incident", they can make money crazily. Even when the harm of the virus is gradually weakening, these companies can still make a profit by selling detection reagents and vaccines.

Nowadays, there is a resurgence of mask incidents all over the country, and the business needs of nucleic acid detection enterprises have increased to varying degrees. In addition, most areas require a 48-hour negative nucleic acid certificate, and this part of the cost needs to be borne by individuals. The initial admission of nucleic acid testing institutions has basically achieved a profit increase of several hundred times, and the enterprises that entered the market later also earned a lot of money.

Legal basis:

Implementation Measures for nucleic acid detection in epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19

I. Normalization monitoring

In areas where there is no epidemic, nucleic acid detection shall be carried out for risk posts and key personnel in strict accordance with the scope determined in the ninth edition of the Prevention and Control Plan of novel coronavirus (hereinafter referred to as the ninth edition of the Prevention and Control Plan), and the scope of nucleic acid detection shall not be expanded. Generally, nucleic acid detection for all employees shall not be carried out according to administrative regions.

(1) Examination of medical personnel.

Medical staff of various medical institutions at all levels, especially primary medical and health institutions, should raise their awareness of finding and reporting COVID-19 cases, paying special attention to the following situations.

1. Strengthen the monitoring of symptoms such as fever, dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, decreased sense of smell and diarrhea, and carry out Covid-19 nucleic acid detection for all patients with fever. Suspicious patients who have no fever but have symptoms such as dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, decreased sense of smell, diarrhea, etc., have a history of epidemiology in COVID-19, or are engaged in risk occupation personnel (see the following classification of risk occupation population) should carry out nucleic acid detection in time.

2. carry out nucleic acid detection on cases of unexplained pneumonia and severe acute respiratory infection in hospitalized patients.

3. carry out nucleic acid detection on all newly admitted patients and their accompanying staff. After suspicious patients are found in community health service stations, village clinics and individual clinics, they should report to community health service centers or township hospitals within 2 hours, and implement the nucleic acid detection strategy of "village report, township sampling and county detection", which can simultaneously carry out antigen detection and find the epidemic situation as soon as possible.

(2) detection of occupational groups at risk.

Conduct nucleic acid detection once a day for people who are in direct contact with entry personnel, articles and environment (such as drivers, cleaners and maintenance personnel of cross-border vehicles, porters of imported articles at ports, frontline personnel of customs and immigration management departments who are in direct contact with entry personnel and articles), staff in centralized isolation places, medical staff in fever clinics of designated medical institutions and general medical institutions.

For employees with dense working environment, frequent contacts and strong mobility (such as express delivery, take-away, hotel services, decoration and loading and unloading services, transportation services, shopping malls, supermarkets and agricultural (gathering) trade markets, etc.), port management service personnel and staff of other departments in general medical institutions except fever clinics, nucleic acid tests are carried out twice a week. After 1 case or more local epidemic occurs within the jurisdiction, the frequency of nucleic acid detection shall be encrypted according to the risk of epidemic spread or the requirements of local epidemic prevention and control.

(3) Personnel inspection in key institutions and places.

schools, key institutions such as child care institutions, pension institutions, service institutions in the field of child welfare, psychiatric hospitals, training institutions, and places where people are crowded, such as supervision places, production workshops, and construction sites, should properly monitor the symptoms of relevant personnel under normal conditions, and can organize nucleic acid sampling according to local prevention and control needs. After 1 case or more local epidemic occurs within the jurisdiction, the whole staff should be organized to complete the nucleic acid detection in time, and then the nucleic acid detection can be carried out according to the detection results and the spread risk of the epidemic, according to the sampling ratio of at least 2% per day or the detection requirements of the jurisdiction.

(4) community management crowd detection.

1. The infected persons discharged from the hospital (cabin) in COVID-19 and their cohabitants, who were brought into community management, were tested for nucleic acid once on the 3rd and 7th days after discharge (cabin).

2. Carry out "five-day home health monitoring" for employees in high-risk posts who have finished closed-loop operations, and manage them with codes during the period, and carry out nucleic acid testing on the first, third and fifth days respectively, and don't go out unless necessary.

3. Carry out "7-day home isolation medical observation" for the spill-over personnel in high-risk areas, during which they are not allowed to go out, and conduct a nucleic acid test on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th days of home isolation. The management period is from leaving the high-risk area to 7 days. After the investigation and discovery of the inflow place, the nucleic acid test should be carried out immediately for the overflow personnel, and then carried out at the required frequency; When the spill situation is found in the investigation, if the spill personnel have left the high-risk area for more than 7 days, it is not necessary to conduct home isolation after completing the nucleic acid detection immediately.

4. For those who spill in low-risk areas, complete nucleic acid detection twice within 3 days, with an interval of 24 hours.

5. nucleic acid test shall be conducted once on the 1st and 3rd day after the judgment.

6. Close contacts and entry personnel released from centralized isolation shall be tested for nucleic acid on the first and third days of home isolation respectively.

7. Other personnel who need to cooperate in the investigation shall carry out nucleic acid detection and health monitoring according to the requirements of territorial prevention and control. After the risk personnel are found in the investigation or investigation, the nucleic acid test will be carried out immediately.

(5) detection of drug buyers.

after a local epidemic occurs, pharmacies in the jurisdiction should register the people who buy antipyretic, antiviral, antibiotic, cough and cold medicines with their real names and push them to the streets (communities) in the jurisdiction for management, and urge users to carry out nucleic acid testing in time, and if necessary, carry out antigen testing first.

(6) Detection of cross-regional floating personnel.

according to the principle of "voluntary, free, take and go, without restriction on mobility", we will set up nucleic acid sampling points in airports, railway stations, long-distance passenger stations, provincial service areas of expressways, ports and other places, provide "landing inspection" service for migrant workers across provinces, and guide go on road trip personnel to take the initiative to carry out nucleic acid testing everywhere.

passengers need to take the plane, high-speed rail, train, inter-provincial long-distance passenger bus, inter-provincial passenger ship and other means of transportation with negative proof of nucleic acid test within 48 hours. People leaving the land border port city must hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours.

check the health code and negative nucleic acid test certificate within 72 hours for people staying in hotels and entering tourist attractions.

Special people such as infants under 3 years old can be exempted from the negative proof of nucleic acid test.
