On March 10, Biotime donated 2 million of the SARS-COV-2 Antigen Rapid Qualitative Test Kits to Hong Kong. The increasing numbers of the Covid-19 in Hong Kong have been a big concern for the Chinese Government and its people. The Chinese Government has given full support to Hong Kong in its fight against the Covid-19. All sectors of the society and Hong Kong compatriots are helping each other and assisting Hong Kong in its fight against the Covid-19 in various ways. As a company that has long supported global anti-epidemic efforts through In Vitro Diagnostics, Biotime has actively responded to support Hong Kong in its fight against the COVID-19. We donated 12-million-yuan worth of epidemic prevention materials to Hong Kong. Biotime's Vice President of Operations, Jim Huang, presided over the donation ceremony. Mr. Huang said that as POCT developers, especially during the epidemic, we have a greater responsibility to share the worries and difficulties of our country and compatriots. Biotime COVID-19 antigen tests have played an outstanding role in the UK's epidemic prevention and controlling of the spread of Covid-19. Witnessing the Hong Kong epidemic increasing rapidly, Biotime hoped to play a significant role in Hong Kong's anti-epidemic efforts and assist Hong Kong to win the epidemic prevention and control the spread as soon as possible. ▲vice GM of Operation, Jim Huang Afterward, Biotime contacted Yi Zhiming, a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council. Mr. Yi expressed his gratitude to the Xiamen Municipal Government and Biotime. He stated that the SARS-COV-2 Antigen Rapid Qualitative Test Kits, once they arrived, Covid-19 test kits will be delivered to the citizens quickly so that a protective wall can be built against the epidemic and protect the health of the Hong Kong citizens. Mr. Yi also mentioned working together will bring Hong Kong back to its former glory ▲ Connect with the senator of Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Yi Zhiming. ▲ Dong Zhonghong, Office of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in Fujian.

As a result of the epidemic, Biotime has displayed "China's strength" in the prevention and control of epidemics across the globe. ▲ Donor Ceremony

More than 18 month since the outbreak, COVID 19 is still raging in much of the world. The novel coronavirus has mutated into strains such as the Delta variant which was first detected in India and accounted for 99% of Covid-19 cases in the UK by mid-Jun, according to Public Health England. (The Guardian, 2021) Delta strain is a highly contagious and possibly more severe SARS-CoV-2 virus strain. Delta is spreading 50% faster than Alpha, which was 50% more contagious than the original strain of SARS-CoV-2—making the new variant 75% more contagious than the original. (YaleMedicine, 2021) And like we’re seeing now, Delta is outcompeting everything else and becoming the dominant strain. The symptoms of the Delta variant appear to differ from traditional COVID symptoms, According to data from the United Kingdom, the most common COVID symptoms may have changed from those we traditionally associated with the virus. Those include: Put aside fever and cough which have always been common COVID symptoms, and headache and sore throat which have traditionally presented for some people, a runny nose is now being reported significantly more frequently. Meanwhile, loss of smell, which was originally quite common, now ranks ninth. (Herrero, 2021) Although it's still not clear whether it it's more dangerous, scientists are becoming more confident the Delta variant represents a more transmissible SARS-CoV-2 strain. (Fox, 2021) What’s even more concerning, is that the Delta variant that has caused devastation in countries like India and the UK has now mutated to produce another variant called Delta Plus. (Joi, 2021) While vaccines are rolling out, not all of us are able to receive them as soon as we'd like. And because not all of us are yet fully protected, get tested if you have any symptoms, even if it’s “just a sniffle”, to protect yourself with some added peace of mind as well as others in your community. Through the course of the pandemic, Biotime’s consolidated its commitment to bringing accessible COVID-19 rapid self-testing to the masses. Hence a wide range of covid 19 test kits has been rolled out and made available both nationwide and worldwide. In particular, the BIOTIME SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM Rapid Qualitative Test is a lateral flow immunoassay intended for qualitative detection and differentiation of IgM and IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human serum, plasma (potassium EDTA), and potassium EDTA venous whole blood. Our rapid antigen covid test kit is also qualified to detect both asymptomatic and symptomatic COVID-19, helping society collectively return to daily life. In addition to that, some scientific researches have purposefully assessed the use of D-dimer, PCT, CRP, IL-6, Ferritin as biomarkers for disease severity and mortality in COVID-19 patients. And the results are rather convincing to suggest they can provide important information on the prognosis of the novel corona virus infection. Below is Biotime’s product specification.

What is NGAL? The full name of NGAL is human lipocalin 2 (Ln2) or siderocalin. It belongs to the lipocalin family and is the earliest proposed marker of acute kidney injury (AKI).   What is the clinical significance of NGAL? 1. NGAL is a marker of acute kidney injury (AKI) When AKI occurs, NGAL rises rapidly in a very short period of time, and the most obvious is 2h. Serum creatinine (sCr), urinary enzymes, etc. often increase significantly after 24 to 72 hours. At this time, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has decreased significantly, and NGAL can change before GFR decreases, so it is suitable for early diagnosis of AKI. At the same time, the increase in NGAL concentration is closely related to the duration of AKI, the severity of kidney injury (RIFLE classification), and the treatment effect and prognosis. 2、Can predict the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially diabetic nephropathy Studies have found that NGAL may be involved in the occurrence and development of diabetes as an inflammatory factor. In diabetic nephropathy, renal tubule damage may be earlier than glomerulus. As a marker of early renal tubular damage, NGAL can reflect renal function damage in diabetic patients (especially type 2 diabetes) before urinary microalbumin (mALB). 3、NGAL also has a certain relationship with tumors Data from different laboratories indicate that the concentration level of NGAL is related to a variety of tumors. It promotes cell proliferation by uptake of iron ions and helps tumor cell growth and infiltration. It is related to tumor cachexia and has become an independent predictor of poor prognosis for patients with cachexia. Compared with traditional projects, what are the advantages of NGAL? When AKI occurs, NGAL rises rapidly in a very short time. The following figure shows the time of increase in the concentration of various markers after the occurrence of AKI: Therefore, testing NGAL can buy more time for AKI patients and grasp the best time for treatment. What are the clinical applications of NGAL? Due to the excellent predictive and diagnostic value of NGAL in AKI, the detection of NGAL can be increased in clinical situations that easily cause AKI. · Routine monitoring after major surgery · Monitoring of ICU patients · Triage of conditions in the emergency department · Early diagnosis of AKI caused by infection and sepsis · Contrast nephropathy (CIN) monitoring after interventional therapy...... NGAL is also an evaluation index of chronic kidney disease, so it can also be used to predict the progression of chronic kidney disease and early detection of kidney damage in patients with diabetic nephropathy. The neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin assay kit provided by Biotime uses fluorescence immunochromatography, which is easy to operate and results in 10 minutes.

Qualitative VS Quantitative Test , which one is better ? Here’s a quick rundown on what is the difference between the two types of diagnostic test and when would be most appropriate to use them respectively： Qualitative Test Qualitative test relies on the collection of non-numerical insights such as opinions. Like a non-quantitative hCG pregnancy test can check whether the hCG hormone is present in the blood thus to suggest whether a woman is pregnant while it is not 100% accurate since it does not measure the exact amount of hCG in the blood . From what's been observed during COVID 19, antibody or Antigen test kits are the most convenient and cost-effective test kits that is adaptable to a wide range of uses. Quantitative test Quantitative test is designed to gather data points in measurable, numerical form. With this kind of test method, an hCG pregnancy test checks human chorionic gonadotropin levels in the blood or urine. This measurement means that an HCG test can test whether a woman is pregnant by telling you the amount of hCG present in the blood or urine. Back to the HCG test kit, β-HCG level during a woman’s pregnancy under different conditions can range from 5 to 200,000 mIU/ml. Below is the specification of Biotime’s β-Hcg product. At the early stage of the prevention and control of COVID 19, the National Health Commission issued the "COVID-19 Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol (Trial Version 7)" on March 3, 2020 which suggested adding the Serological test in the clinical performance.  IgG antibody titer in recovery period was 4 times higher than in acute period. Nevertheless, quantitative test is often regarded as a more superier test approach. But still, qualitative test shines in its own way. It is a simple, less fussy, more straight forward choice for someone who is only looking to get a “yes or no” answer from the test results. In a word, no matter which one you prefer, we at Biotime are able to provide you with both choices and deliver answers in more settings, for more conditions.
