"Blood cancer test" has always been a difficult point in medical research. In the third China Internet + University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, the early stage cancer detection system of Southeast University MxHealth team used the first and the world's leading photonic crystal microsphere technology to design an automated detector. Through a drop of blood, 16 cancer screenings can be completed and the contest "Silver Award" is won.
Dr. Chang Ning, head of the MxHealth team at Southeast University and the School of Biological Science and Medical Engineering, told reporters that traditional cancer detection often uses a single indicator, which is aimed at a certain cancer, and the concentration of this marker will be affected by users. The mood, diet, environment and other factors affect the test results. The MxHealth team's automated detectors use multiple indicators to detect and establish and analyze large data relationships across multiple tumor markers, greatly improving detection accuracy.
In the lab, the reporter saw that the instrument for detecting cancer markers designed by the MxHealth team looked like a normal printer. Dr. Chang Ning said, “Only 50 microliters of blood is needed to complete the detection of 16 common cancer markers in one-click, including liver cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, etc. The entire testing process takes only 5 to 10 minutes. Less than 100 yuan."
Dr. Changning said that the early detection instrument for cancer is expected to be officially put into the market for two to three years or more.

Nucleic Acid (DNA/RNA) Extraction Kit
1. Introduction
The total viral nucleic acid extraction kit is suitable for extracting total viral nucleic acid from serum, plasma, tissue homogenate and other samples. The kit is based on silica column purification technology, which eliminates the need for toxic phenol-chloroform extraction and time-consuming alcohol precipitation. This product has successfully extracted nucleic acids from hepatitis B A/C, hepatitis C, and norovirus standard. The obtained DNA/RNA can be directly used in a series of downstream experiments such as PCR, RT-PCR, and LAMP.
Notice:
1. The carrier RNA solid must be dissolved in Nuclease Free Water to 1µg/µl before use, and vortex to dissolve. Store in aliquots at -70°C. If you need to store it at -20℃ for a long time, please repackage it according to the number of times of use.
2. Dissolve Proteinase K (20mg/ml): Add Proteinase Dissolve Buffer to dissolve Proteinase K to a final concentration of 20mg/ml. Proteinase K dry powder can be stored at 2-8°C for one year, but dissolved Proteinase K must be stored in aliquots at -20°C. Repeated freezing and thawing of Proteinase K can affect its activity.
3. Buffer VHB must be diluted with 14 ml absolute ethanol before use and stored at room temperature.
4. Buffer RW2 must be diluted with 80 ml of absolute ethanol before use and stored at room temperature.
3. Shelf life
Except for Proteinase K and Carrier RNA, other components of this product can be stored at room temperature (15-25°C) for 12 months, and should be stored at 2-8°C for long-term storage. Proteinase K and Carrier RNA dry powder are transported at room temperature. Please store at -20°C after receiving the test product, and store at -20°C after dissolving.
