[Expert advice on management of urban nucleic acid testing base].

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA detection is the key link for the precise epidemic prevention and control, and the urban detection bases have been proved to be achieved great successes in increasing the regional nucleic acid detection ability and efficiency. This expert advice contains ten aspects: environment and facilities management, personnel management and training, equipment management, materials management, quality management, bio-safety management, medical waste management, information system management, result report, supervision and continuous improvement. This manual aims to provide standards and suggestions for the SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection base management for ensuring the standardized, safe and orderly operation of the base to complete large-scale nucleic acid screening with high efficiency and quality. It also could be used by other SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection laboratory as reference.
