【Malaysia Maha Karuna Buddhist Society NEWS FEED】 Sri Lanka | 03 March 2021 | Medical Aid
Mr & Mrs Ho and family had recently donated a PCR machine to Peradeniya Hospital, Sri Lanka.
On 03 March 2021, our representative, Venerable Badullegama Siriwimala Thero, President of Sri Saranankara Foundation handovered Truelab Real Time Quantitative Micro PCR System Comprising of Trulab Quattro device, Trueprep Auto V2 device, and accessories to Peradeniya Hospital, Kandy, in Sri Lanka.
Teaching Hospital, Peradeniya, is one of the three hospitals in Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. It is one of the leading community teaching hospitals in Sri Lanka, affiliated with the University of Peradeniya. In addition to delivering medical care to patients, it facilitates undergraduate training programmes for the university students studying in the faculties of Medicine, Dental Sciences and Allied Health Sciences. It was established in 1980.
The Thermal Cycler (also known as a Thermocycler, PCR Machine or DNA Amplifier) is a laboratory apparatus used to amplify segments of DNA via the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
PCR helps focus on the actual segment of DNA that is of interest, rather than the whole genome. From a small genetic sample, the genotypes can now be determined, and as a result, many genetic disorders can be detected, diagnosed and monitored.
PCR is one of the most widely used diagnostic tests
for detecting pathogens, including viruses, that cause diseases such as Ebola, African swine fever and foot-and-mouth disease. Since the COVID-19 virus only contains RNA, real time or conventional RT–PCR is used to detect it.
We appreciate this public-spirited offer from the Ho family in Malaysia which not only benefits the local community patients but also the medical students in researches development.
【马来西亚宏慈佛教会 新闻提要】 斯里兰卡| 二零二一年三月三日 | 医疗援助
何先生和夫人及其家人最近向斯里兰卡Peradeniya医院捐赠了一台价值美金二十几万的PCR仪器。
于二零二一年三月三日，我们的代表，斯里沙拉南加拉基金会主席 Badullegama Siriwimala 法师 将 实时定量微型PCR系统（包括Trulab Quattro设备，Trueprep Auto V2设备以及附件）移交给了斯里兰卡康提的Peradeniya医院。
Peradeniya的教学医院是斯里兰卡Peradeniya的三所医院之一。它是斯里兰卡教学医院领域当中的领先杰出的医院之一，隶属于Peradeniya大学。除了为患者提供医疗服务外，它还为在医学，牙科科学和联合健康科学学院学习的大学生提供了本科培训计划。它成立于1980年。
热循环仪（也称为热循环仪，PCR机或DNA扩增仪）是一种实验室设备，用于通过聚合酶链反应（PCR）扩增DNA片段。
PCR帮助将注意力集中在感兴趣的DNA的实际片段上，而不是整个基因组上。现在可以从少量的遗传样本中确定基因型，从而可以检测，诊断和监测许多遗传性疾病。
PCR是应用最广泛的诊断测试之一， 用于检测引起诸如埃博拉病毒，非洲猪瘟和口蹄疫等疾病的病原体，包括病毒。由于COVID-19病毒仅包含RNA，因此可以使用实时或常规RT-PCR进行检测。
我们感谢马来西亚何氏家族热心公益的精神，这不只有益于当地社区的患者，同时也给予贡献于医学生进行研究开发。
