On February 17, 2021 at the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, through the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee Ho Chi Minh City - Committee for campaign, reception and distribution of Covid-19 City Prevention and Control Fund, Hung Thinh Corporation awarded Cobas® 4800 automatic real-time PCR testing machine system valued nearly VND 5.3 billion to the Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control (HCDC) to enhance the work of testing, prevention and fighting against Covid – 19 epidemic in the city. This is the first automatic Covid-19 testing machine in Ho Chi Minh City, helping reduce 30-40% of the time for showing result compared with the existing methods.

Since before the Lunar New Year, once again, the whole country in general and Ho Chi Minh City in particular have had to fight against the Covid-19 epidemic with a new variant that has a faster and more dangerous infection rate. Through donating a modern Real-time PCR automatic testing system, Hung Thinh Corporation wishes to promptly support the medical team to speed up the testing process and detect Covid-19 cases quickly, accurately and effectively, thereby contributing to reducing the risk of epidemic spread in the community.

This new testing machine will give testing result in 2.5 hours with 96 samples at the same time. The machine is equipped with a patient sample extraction device and then automatically processes the samples. The machine will help shorten human manipulations with Covid-19 testing sample, thereby ensuring more safety for human.
