AH, so California is ALREADY GETTING GOVERNMENT FUNDS for private businesses. and lying about results no doubt. i guess they are also getting money for sales even though no one has asked for the product: i'm quite sure of it



LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MOLECULAR TESTS - THEY DON'T COME IN A BOTTLE

YOU BUY A SUB-MILLION $ OR MULTI-MILLION $ LAB EQUIPMENT. You buy a data set (which comes with updates). the results (which use one of many standard solutions) have a data pattern - these patterns are compared against a known set (a prisoner up for murder dna, rna etc).

however - a dna rna tester REQUIRES your sample include the dna rna you are looking for (ie, not dna rna of SOMEONE ELSE)

the tests are not conclusive

WHAT THAT MEANS IS IF YOU ARE RAPID IDENTIFIED YOUR QUARANTEENED UNTIL YOU WAIT FOR ANOTHER TEST

it has nothing to do with buying a small bottle per say

IT IS A NJ BASED BUSINESS RUNNING IN CALIFORNIA? ALREADY SOME QUESTIONABLE LEADS.

Cost[edit]
Some concerns have been raised about the Xpert MTB/RIF, including minor operational issues and cost. The concessional price for a GeneXpert system is currently USD 32,000 for a four module instrument. As of 6 August 2012, the cost of a test cartridge in countries eligible for concessional pricing is USD 9.98.[11] As of 30 June 2013, 1,402 GeneXpert systems (comprising 7553 modules) and >3 million Xpert MTB/RIF cartridges had been procured in 88 of the 145 countries under concessional pricing

------------------------
most sunnyvale california companies have become MADE IN CHINA

they are called "fabless" and it means: they are talking heads, they are importers, they promote the product as american as long as they can get away with doing so

NEWS IS IN THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY THAT THIS MEANS MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS (HIGH END ONES) WILL BE MADE IN CHINA BY 2025, THAT THE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT HAS WRITTEN AN EDICT TO ORDER europe and usa et al to stop producing and buy these from china

--------------------

the fact is the medical community has "gotten greedy"

they give you an "FDA obama approved"\ rapid test, prescribe AWFUL MEDICINE (which has allot of dangers), and not care if the test was not 100% certain

they would never pull out the microscope and identify if the dna rna tester was right

(in a lab using such a device. in a normal lab with proper equipment that has microscopes: they WOULD properly identify before prescribing)

yet doctors often prescribe medication without CONCLUSIVE LAB RESULTS: that's an unfortunate fact and China knows it

infact: for "depression drugs" (which cause depression and suicide btw - contrary to the cause of prescription) - TENS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED DRUGS with absolutely zero lab work and no G.I. work done

(that is unrelated to dna rna tests - however - it figures in the big picture - it does very much so. so does the recall data)

there is no precise estimation of the number of commercially available RIDTs because of the growing number of test kits made in China and other southeastern Asian countries


Assay performance has been evaluated in 12 clinical studies, of which 10 were published in peer-reviewed journals (TABLE 2) and 2 were presented as posters in scientific meetings. For the Xpert Flu V3, sensitivity varied from 76.9 to 98.1%, but specificity was above 97% in all studies. For Flu A (Xpert Flu V1 and V2), sensitivity varied from 64.3 to 98.7%. The low value reported previously [26] was attributable to the inclusion of H9N2 and H5N1 that were either not detected (0/3) or only partially detected (1/3), respectively (TABLE 2). It is noteworthy that the Xpert Flu assay had not been developed for detection of these strains. Advances to include results based on these subtypes into the calculation of analytical sensitivity are therefore vulnerable. Most of the studies showed sensitivity above 413

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_China_2025

The Center for Strategic and International Studies describes it as an "initiative to comprehensively upgrade Chinese industry" directly inspired by the German Industry 4.0.

(USA petitions to prevent drug imports because, among other things, foreigners are using us patents without paying, are "un-controlled", AND COMPETE UNFAIRLY in the free market: it's a communist market globally)

i'm not 100% certain (i'm, say, 76.9% certain) that GeneXpert is made in China

however i have experience in chasing these things down and have allot of reasons to suspect it IS MADE IN CHINA

AND THAT OBAMA OFFICIALS IN FDA ARE HELPING CHINA OVER-THROW THE US MEDICAL EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY - actually using federal money to create websites for them

(note: websites contracts since bill clinton are something like $2,000,000 year just for a crappy web site a teenager could make: the contract always is steered corruptly of course)

https://www.breitbart.com/border/2020/03/21/rapid-coronavirus-test-approved-by-fda-results-in-45-minutes/

order one now: it's federal money who cares how it's spent !!

however - a dna rna tester REQUIRES your sample include the dna rna you are looking for (ie, not dna rna of SOMEONE ELSE)

i have no idea if the Xpert system is new and different but i severely doubt it

WHAT IT MEANS IS YOU HAVE TO HAVE IDENTIFIED A sample (isolated it, meaning you already know it's there and have collected it) to put it in the machina

if you already know the sample contains covid19, it is unlikely you need a bot to tell you it is.

why is because there thousands of little pathogens running around in your blood

the question is which one would you test? it's not going to be 45 min. if you need to test all of them, that's for sure

To quantify gene expression, the (Cq) for an RNA or DNA from the gene of interest is subtracted from the (Cq) of RNA/DNA from a housekeeping gene in the same sample to normalize for variation in the amount and quality of RNA between different samples. This normalization procedure is commonly called the Ct-method[14] and permits comparison of expression of a gene of interest among different samples. However, for such comparison, expression of the normalizing reference gene needs to be very similar across all the samples. Choosing a reference gene fulfilling this criterion is therefore of high importance, and often challenging, because only very few genes show equal levels of expression across a range of different conditions or tissues

-----------------------------------
a typical dna rna comparator (for prison use) doesn't really identify genes: the sample is taken from known human dna and compared (the meaning of the data is not significant and infact the "color data" is mostly useless medically - only the comparison between one person and another is). if you took a prisoner sample containing dog blood and another sample also containing dog blood there would be a match: although lab persons could probably say it was dog dna - the point remains THE RIGHT STUFF NEEDS TO BE PUT IN THE TEST CHAMBERS. the color data IS NOT STANDARDIZED per say - different machines produce different and incompatible color data (there are some conversions but not always - you many need the same system or style of system to compare with)

---------------------------
there is another kind of system - rapid identification system - that "never took off". it visually identifies virus and microbes and pathogen using a microscope and automated visual comparison. in early 2000's these systems were deemed "too slow to be practical" (that a qualified lab person could do it faster)

-----------------------------

while i don't know a great amount about these systems - i know to look out for corruption IN EVERY CORNER OF EVERY MODERN SYSTEM (government) has had a hand in promoting

there is nothing sacred these days: these systems cost a ton of money even if they are not bought they are paid for by the taxpayer - even if they were made in china

it's a "Real-time PCR system"

china has an endless number of competing PCR systems



one of the tens of real time pcr systems "out there"

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY!

The Gene Xpert is a machine that can detect *mycobacterium tuberculosis* in a sample of sputum. A person suspected of having TB needs to give a sputum sample, which the health care worker than places in a small tube.

THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE THE PATIENT HAS SPUTIN TO PUT IN A SAMPLE JAR IF THEY DON'T HAVE TB

see - there is your problem

mountains of manuals - two important points to find:

#1 is it a "SEMI" fraud of some kind ? it can't do what it says it will ?

#2 is it a fabless country using usa money to sell chinese stuff ?

let's say - it's not the first time i've shopped around - and mountains of manuals seem to have lied to me before so i have some idea where to look

anyone my age should "know the routine" when shopping, if money matters

you'd know this if you'd looked into several types of lab equipment and what they do (ie, atomic versus covalent bonding and types of early dna machines and types of)

... might contain some false advertising

and probably does

(most machines that "identify complex substances" can only differentiate or identify many substances from one another: and completely fail if the wrong sample is put in. how do you get your sample: allot of work)

ABSTRACT
Summary: Electron microscopy, considered by some to be an old technique, is still on the forefront of both clinical viral diagnoses and viral ultrastructure and pathogenesis studies. In the diagnostic setting, it is particularly valuable in the surveillance of emerging diseases and potential bioterrorism viruses. In the research arena, modalities such as immunoelectron microscopy, cryo-electron microscopy, and electron tomography have demonstrated how viral structural components fit together, attach to cells, assimilate during replication, and associate with the cellular machinery during replication and egression. These studies provide information for treatment and vaccine strategies.

One of the main advantages of using EM for viral diagnosis is that it does not require organism-specific reagents for recognizing the pathogenic agent. Other tests involving molecular and serological methods require that a specific probe be available for virus identification. In the event of a disease caused by an unknown pathogen, it is hard to know which reagent to pick. On the other hand, EM allows an “open view” (a term coined by Hans Gelderblom) of whatever might be present, while molecular tests require knowledge about the potential agent(s) to determine the correct test(s). EM, though it may not be able to identify a virus beyond the family level, at least points the way for more specific identification by other methods such as biochemical assays for specific pathogens. Another fact to keep in mind is that reagents do not exist for all viruses; when they grow poorly or not at all in in vitro systems, obtaining enough material to produce commercial test kits is difficult. Finally, in cases of dual infections, molecular or antigen-based testing would likely miss the second agent.

Even today, in the age of molecular diagnostics, EM is a mainstay in detecting new and unusual outbreaks. For example, norovirus (Norwalk agent) was discovered by EM (46), and EM continues to serve to confirm infection in quality control of molecular techniques (87). EM was instrumental in elucidating the viral agent of the first outbreak of Ebola virus in Zaire in 1976 (8, 45, 71) and in identifying the Ebola Reston infection of a monkey colony in Reston, VA, in 1989 as being caused by a filovirus

Numerous atlases (2, 17, 18, 22, 41, 56, 57, 69, 70) and websites with excellent micrographs for virus identification by negative staining and thin sectioning are available. There are also online pictures of viruses (http://www.virology.net/Big_Virology/BVHomePage.html, http://www.virology.net/garryfavweb12.html).

Caveats

In fluid samples, the concentration of viruses has to be high for detection. Liquids should routinely be ultracentrifuged, after first clarifying them at low speed, to pellet and concentrate viruses. Other concentration methods, including ultrafiltration, agar diffusion, pseudoreplica technique, and immunoaggregation have been reviewed

(the operator must be skilled to not mis-identify - to know the likenesses and pitfalls causing mis-identification)

INFACT - THE CDC HAS RELEASED EM PHOTOS (for use with this)

AH OK - THEN EM IS GOAT APPROVED THEN

the reader should realize that "ALLOT OF PUBLISHED SCIENCE REVOLVES AROUND DEVELOPING THE BETTER MICROSCOPE" (and who will steal the data and produce it and sell it to governments)

that is no joke. any college lab worth mentioning has not one but many "better microscope" projects ongoing

if you have a dead patient, your a coroner with a midline microscope, you see bacteria in the lungs shouldn't be there and know of symptoms: you say "it's covid19" and send a sample to the feds

if you have a healthy patient you likely aren't allowed to take lung samples "just to see", so you have blood samples - and that's not going to be easy - from what i hear

job done!

that is no joke. any college lab worth mentioning has not one but many "better microscope" projects ongoing ...

this is where chinese walking out of usa schools with "lab data" gets in the news

germany is a good creator of science - but often takes it as well ...

germany and japan are currently ON THE TOP of micoscopy SALES

to say china is on their tales would be an under-statement

little red riding hood

there are systems designed to look at EM photos for rapid identification - but they are slow, have a thin database of "known likenesses" to identify, and it takes "some intelligence" to identify certain things from certain other things in photos

they are "still in the works" - meaning a lab person is usually better off not having EM rapid identification software

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method widely used in molecular biology to rapidly make millions to billions of copies of a specific DNA sample allowing scientists to take a very small sample of DNA and amplify it to a large enough amount to study in detail. PCR was invented in 1983 by Kary Mullis. It is fundamental to much of genetic testing including analysis of ancient samples of DNA and identification of infectious agents. Using PCR, copies of very small amounts of DNA sequences are exponentially amplified in a series or cycles of temperature changes. PCR is now a common and often indispensable technique used in medical laboratory and clinical laboratory research for a broad variety of applications including biomedical research and criminal forensics

AH - SO IF PCR IS YOUR FIRST STEP - YOU ARE ADMITTING TO "MANUFACURING THE CORONAVIRUS COVID-19 INTENTIONALLY" ??

.

THAT'S JUST A VERY POOR WIKIPEDIA EXPLINATION - cancel the 98sdfhf post immediately above

(pcr begins by "uncoiling the helix" - a method that was used in the earliest dna tests but was not given that name. the next step in the old method was to use electrical charge to pull the strand across a gel and note the results - yielding "color bars", a simple process that has since been refined in many ways)

Other than denaturation by heat, nucleic acids can undergo the denaturation process through various chemical agents such as XXX

in other words, these pcr machines having title "MJ Research PTC-200 DNA Engine 96-well PCR Unit, Tested Working !!"

ARE JUST HOT PADS, you can say

the .5-5 micron above means 1 micro meter = 10,000 angstrom



(remembering microscopes and dna color bar machines are sciences "better mouse trap")

this "older" image is of 5 atoms - so it's a molecule of course. the thing to note is it's resolution isn't "5 A" - it's more than that because you can make out details within the 5A can't you? sure you can see quite a picture

talk about resolution !

the atom is roughly .5 A to 2 or a few A for the larger ones - though wikipedia has "BANNED ALL USE OF ANGRSTROM" - if you hadn't heard. edited all out by moderators. try to post it: you will be deleted

20 nm is 200A, so the L's are about 200 atoms wide - which is wider than a circuit on a modern Intel chip btw

doesn't matter - the chinese got the publication - you'll be out of business soon !!
