Profits of nucleic acid testing institutions

In the first three quarters of 2022, the company's net profit was about 86 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 60%. Among them, the growth momentum of Jiu 'an Medical ranked first, with an increase of 32 1 times.

From the overall data, although 80% of nucleic acid detection is dominated by leading enterprises. And some small institutions also drank a mouthful of hot soup while eating meat in large enterprises, and the whole nucleic acid detection industry can be described as a prosperous scene.

It is hard to believe that before the "mask incident", nine of the ten genetic testing institutions were in a state of loss. In just over two years, these enterprises can actually create the myth of annual profits of several billion.

Allowing the third party to carry out nucleic acid testing is a decision made by the state in order to alleviate the shortage of public resources to the greatest extent in the face of the grim 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 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 of the "mask" after three years of diving.

The decline in profits of nucleic acid testing institutions is mainly related to the decline in the price of nucleic acid testing. The continuous decline in prices will reduce the profit space of nucleic acid institutions. It is for this reason that some nucleic acid testing institutions prefer to take the world by storm.

According to relevant data, as of April 2022, China has conducted nucleic acid detection11500 million person-times. Even as a population base of 654.38+400 million in China, this figure is quite amazing. If the whole people participate in nucleic acid manufacturing, everyone needs to do it eight times on average.

The rural population in China is about 5 1 10,000, and the number of these people doing nucleic acid testing is relatively small. In some densely populated cities, "mask incidents" are relatively frequent, and the average number of nucleic acids among local residents is even as high as dozens.

According to the data of research institutions, the market size of nucleic acid detection in China in 20021year was about132 billion. It is estimated that it will exceed 654.38+05 billion yuan in 2022, 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 does the huge profit come from?

At present, China's nucleic acid testing institutions can process 5 1 10,000 samples a day. What is the concept of this data? If ten people are mixed and sampled into a test tube, at least 100 million people will participate in nucleic acid testing every day. It is obvious to all that nucleic acid testing can make money, so such enterprises are springing up 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 take exams every day, the closer they get to the peak, and the more money they earn. In addition, the number of inspections every day also directly affects profits, so we see that there will be inspections twice a day in some places.

Nucleic acid detection is different from other industries. When other companies are in a difficult situation because of the "mask incident", they can make money crazily. Even if the harm of the virus gradually weakens, these companies can still make a profit by selling detection reagents and vaccines.

Nowadays, mask incidents have resurfaced 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 nucleic acid negative 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 growth of several hundred times, and the enterprises that entered the market later also earned a lot of money.

Legal basis:

Measures for the implementation of nucleic acid detection for epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19.

I. Normalization monitoring

In areas where no epidemic has occurred, nucleic acid detection shall be carried out for risk posts and key personnel in strict accordance with the scope determined in the novel coronavirus Prevention and Control Plan (Ninth Edition) (hereinafter referred to as the Ninth Edition Prevention and Control Plan), and the scope of nucleic acid detection shall not be expanded. Generally, all employees will not be tested for nucleic acid according to the administrative area.

(1) Physical examination of medical staff.

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 fever, dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, hypoesthesia, diarrhea and other symptoms, and conduct COVID-19 nucleic acid detection on all patients with fever. Suspicious patients without fever but with symptoms such as dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, hypoesthesia and diarrhea. Persons who have a history of epidemiology in COVID-19 or are engaged in dangerous occupations (see the following classification of dangerous occupational groups) should be tested for nucleic acid in time.

2. Detect the nucleic acid of the hospitalized patients with unexplained pneumonia and severe acute respiratory infection.

3. All newly admitted patients and their accompanying staff were tested for nucleic acid. 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 detect antigens and find the epidemic situation as soon as possible.

(2) finding dangerous occupational groups.

Every day, 1 time nucleic acid detection was conducted for people who directly contact with entry personnel, articles and the environment (such as drivers of cross-border vehicles, cleaners, maintenance workers, porters of imported articles at ports, front-line personnel of customs and entry-exit administration departments who directly contact entry personnel and articles), staff of centralized isolation places, medical staff of designated medical institutions, medical staff of fever clinics of comprehensive medical institutions, etc.

For employees with dense working environment, frequent contact and strong mobility (such as express delivery, take-away, hotel service, decoration and loading and unloading service, transportation service, supermarket and agricultural (trade) market staff, etc. ), port management service personnel and staff of other departments of general medical institutions except fever clinics, conduct nucleic acid testing twice a week. After the occurrence of 1 local epidemic in the jurisdiction, the frequency of nucleic acid detection shall be encrypted according to the epidemic spread risk or local epidemic prevention and control requirements.

(three) personnel testing in key institutions and places.

Schools, kindergartens, old-age care institutions, child welfare service institutions, psychiatric hospitals, training institutions and other key institutions, supervision places, production workshops, construction sites and other crowded places should do a good job in monitoring the symptoms of relevant personnel under normalization, and organize nucleic acid sampling according to local prevention and control needs. After the occurrence of 1 local epidemic cases and above in the jurisdiction, 1 full-time nucleic acid detection should be organized in time, and then nucleic acid detection can be carried out according to the detection results and the risk of epidemic spread, according to the sampling ratio of at least 20% per day or the detection requirements of the jurisdiction.

(4) community management crowd detection.

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

2. Carry out "5-day home health monitoring" for employees in high-risk positions who have completed closed-loop operations, and conduct code management during this period. Perform 1 nucleic acid test on 65438, 3 and 5 respectively, and don't go out unless necessary.

3. Carry out "7-day home isolation medical observation" on the overflow personnel in the high-risk area, during which they are assigned to code management and are not allowed to go out, and carry out 1 nucleic acid detection on the 1, 3, 5 and 7 days respectively. The management period is from leaving the high-risk area to 7 days. Once the inflow is found; the overflow personnel shall be tested for nucleic acid 1 time immediately; and then at the required frequency. When the leakage is found in the investigation, if the leaking personnel have left the high-risk area for more than 7 days, it is not necessary to immediately complete the 1 nucleic acid test and then conduct home isolation.

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

5. On the 3rd day after 1 and the judgment, the 1 nucleic acid test was conducted on the exposed persons in the epidemic-related places.

6. Close contacts and entry personnel who have been released from centralized isolation shall be tested for 1 nucleic acid on 1 day and 3/day respectively.

7. Other personnel who need to be investigated shall conduct nucleic acid detection and health monitoring according to the requirements of territorial prevention and control. 1 Nucleic acid detection shall be conducted immediately after the risk personnel are found through investigation or investigation.

(5) Testing the drug buyers.

After the local epidemic occurs, pharmacies in the jurisdiction should register the people who buy antipyretic, antiviral, antibiotic, cough and cold medicine with their real names and push them to the streets (communities) in the jurisdiction, and urge users to carry out nucleic acid testing in time, and if necessary, carry out 1 antigen testing first.

(6) Cross-regional mobile personnel detection.

In accordance with the principle of "voluntary, free, take away, unlimited flow", set up nucleic acid sampling points in airports, railway stations, long-distance passenger stations, provincial service areas of expressways, ports and other places to provide "landing inspection" services for migrant workers across provinces, and guide those who go out on the road to take the initiative to carry out nucleic acid testing in various places.

Passengers are required to take planes, high-speed trains, trains, inter-provincial long-distance buses, inter-provincial passenger ships and other means of transportation with negative nucleic acid tests within 48 hours. Persons leaving the land border port cities must hold negative nucleic acid test certificates within 48 hours.

For those who stay in hotels and enter tourist attractions, check the health code and negative nucleic acid test certificate within 72 hours.

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