The 10 finalists presented their projects to the judges and audience through their wonderful speeches. There were many brilliant highlights. The Direct PCR project of Forgene has lived up to expectations and won the third place. It has been widely recognized and affirmed and strengthened our confidence! Thank you Liu Dong, Vice President of China Insurance for your support! Thank you Huaxi Metropolis Daily for your strong recommendation! Thanks to all friends who care and support us!
The vice president of Huaxia Insurance commented that Direct PCR technology will benefit ordinary people, for example, it can be used for bacterial detection.
Based on the Direct PCR technology, Foregene will develope "15 respiratory system pathogenic bacteria detection kit". The kit can detect 15 kinds of pathogenic bacteria in sputum without the need to purify the nucleic acid in sputum. In terms of efficiency, it shortens the original 3 to 5 days to 1.5 hours. It is expected that the Direct PCR platform will surely make people’s life better, and help Foregene go further.
