Proprietary high-tech products designed to curtail the COVID-19 were shown at a promotional activity in Fuzhou, Fujian province, on Monday.
The products covered virus testing, disinfection and public transportation, organizers said.
The current diagnosis and treatment guidance for COVID-19 published by the National Health Commission, recognizes that the virus is sensitive to ultraviolet light. Several ultraviolet sterilizers with efficient elimination rates against the virus were displayed in the activity.
Among them, China's first UV catalytic disinfection machine, developed by Fuzhou University and Fusshia Technology, presented obvious effects in clearing up the virus on smooth impermeable materials. Also exhibited was an air disinfection machine which played an important role in protecting public places in Wuhan, Hubei province, last year.
Xiamen University and Yaoguang semiconductor technology company have also developed a hand-held deep UV disinfection instrument that can clear the virus under thin ice in seconds, decreasing the transmission risk of COVID-19 in cold chain food shipments.
As for large-scale coronavirus testing equipment, the exhibition showed an automatic testing machine that can complete the testing procedure in an enclosed environment while defending against cross-infection.
An antibacterial oral spray on display provided new perspective for individual protection against COVID-19. The special amino acid in the spray could block the virus from binding with receptors in the human body.
As the product of an emergency scientific research project at Xiamen University, the spray is the subject of three national invention patent applications.
Ye Bihai, deputy director of the Fujian science and technology department, said it is hoped the products will benefit all parts of society.
