On May 20, the pilot work of normalized UAV nucleic acid sample transfer was officially launched in Yuhang District, Hangzhou. This project is led by the Yuhang District Government and is the first large-scale use of the UAV nucleic acid sample transportation network. In the first phase of the project, Antwork is responsible for building a nucleic acid sample distribution network within the medical community of Yuhang Health Service Center, radiating multiple nucleic acid testing points in the Yuhang area.

As early as the end of 2019, after obtaining the first domestic urban logistics drone operation license, Xun Ant began to gradually build a medical community inspection sample distribution network in Yuhang District. With Cangqian, Yuhang and other health service centers as the core, it radiates more than 10 grass-roots health stations such as Gaoqiao Village, Gexiang Community, Liangutang, Wushanqian, Yiqiao, Hongtong, Jingshan, Zhongtai, etc. Residents in the area bring convenience for medical treatment and enjoy medical inspection services at their doorsteps anytime, anywhere. With the deepening of the application, Xunyi has successively extended this transportation mode to the subordinate institutions of the Yuhang No. 2 Hospital and the Yuhang No. 3 Hospital Medical Community, realizing full coverage of the main areas of Yuhang.

Based on Xun Ant's rich operating experience and combined with the existing routes, the addition of nucleic acid transfer services this time can fully reuse resources and achieve the most cost-effective combination of peacetime and wartime.

Previously, Xun Ant has accumulated rich experience in nucleic acid transfer. Since it first participated in the transfer of nucleic acid samples in June last year, under the background of the spread of epidemics in various places and the increased transmission of new virus strains, Xun Ant has successively helped medical institutions in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Guangdong and other regions to build rapid air transport channels for nucleic acid samples , the cumulative service has exceeded 7 million person-times, speeding up nucleic acid transfer in many places.


The opening of the UAV nucleic acid sample transfer service in Yuhang District is due to the strong support of the Yuhang District government for the application of innovative technologies, and the main operating unit of the operation management service center of the Hangzhou Unmanned Aviation Pilot Zone—Herefei Technology Co., Ltd. Organization and coordination of the company. In addition to Xun Ant, UAV distribution companies Meituan UAV and SF Fengyi also actively participated in this pilot work.

In the nucleic acid transfer scenario, in addition to using conventional take-off and landing points, Xunyi also innovatively explored the combination with the digital nucleic acid collection station (nucleic acid hut). The seamless connection of "take off on the spot" reduces the risk of contact and further speeds up the transit time.


Under the background of normalized nucleic acid detection work, Yuhang District has opened 1,001 nucleic acid sampling points, and built a secondary transfer system of "sampling point-zhenjie transfer station-testing agency", which has huge demand for daily transfer. Starting from the pilot route this time, combined with Xunyi's existing route network coverage in Yuhang District, the UAV nucleic acid sample transfer service will gradually be promoted throughout the region.
