Ukunqongophala kweeNgcebiso zePlastiki yePipette Kulibazisa uPhando lweBiology

Kwangoko kubhubhani we-Covid-19, ukunqongophala kwephepha lendlu yangasese kwaphazamisa abathengi kwaye kukhokelele ekuqokeleleni isitokhwe ngamandla kunye nokwanda komdla kwezinye izinto ezinje ngeebhidethi. Ngoku, ingxaki efanayo ichaphazela izazinzulu kwilebhu: ukunqongophala kwezinto ezilahlwayo, iimveliso zeplastiki eziyinyumba, ngakumbi iingcebiso zepipette, uSally Herships kunye noDavid Gura ingxelo ye-NPR's The Indicator.

Iingcebiso zePipettesisixhobo esibalulekileyo sokuhambisa imiyinge ethile yolwelo jikelele kwilebhu. Uphando kunye novavanyo olunxulumene ne-Covid-19 lukhuthaze imfuno enkulu yeeplastiki, kodwa oonobangela bokunqongophala kweeplastiki ngaphaya kwe-spike kwimfuno. Izinto ezisuka kwimozulu embi ukuya kunqongophala kwabasebenzi ziye zagqithana kumanqanaba amaninzi ekhonkco lokubonelela ukuphazamisa ukuveliswa kwezinto ezisisiseko zelebhu.

Kwaye izazinzulu zinzima ukucinga ukuba uphando lunokubukeka njani ngaphandle kweengcebiso zepipette.

"Umbono wokukwazi ukwenza isayensi ngaphandle kwabo uyahlekisa," utshilo umphathi welebhu ye-Octant Bio uGabrielle Bostwick.Iindaba ze-STAT'Kate Sheridan.

Iingcebiso zePipettezifana nee-turkey basters ezicuthiweyo ukuya kutsho nje ii-intshi ezimbalwa ubude. Endaweni yebhalbhu yerabha ekugqibeleni ecudiweyo kwaye ikhululwe ukufunxa ulwelo, iingcebiso zepipette zincamathele kwisixhobo se-micropipette esinokuthi isazinzulu sisethe ukuba sithathe umthamo othile wolwelo, odla ngokulinganiswa ngee-microliters. Iingcebiso zePipette ziza ngobukhulu obuhlukeneyo kunye nezimbo zemisebenzi eyahlukeneyo, kwaye izazinzulu ziqhele ukusebenzisa ingcebiso entsha kwisampulu nganye ukuze kuthintelwe ungcoliseko.

Kuvavanyo ngalunye lwe-Covid-19, izazinzulu zisebenzisa iingcebiso ezine zepipette, uGabe Howell, osebenza kwindawo yokusasaza elebhu eSan Diego, uxelela i-NPR. Kwaye iUnited States iyodwa iqhuba izigidi zolu vavanyo suku ngalunye, ngoko ke iingcambu zokunqongophala kweplastiki yangoku zibuyela umva ekuqaleni kobhubhane.

Andazi ngayo nayiphi na inkampani enemveliso ehambelana nesiqingatha sovavanyo [lwe-Covid-19] engakhange ifumane ukwanda okukhulu kwemfuno eyoyisa ngokupheleleyo amandla okwenza izinto ebekukhona,” utshilo uKai te Kaat, isekela. umongameli wolawulo lwenkqubo yenzululwazi yobomi eQIAGEN, ukuya kuShawna Williams kwiIsazinzuluiphephancwadi.

Iingcali zenzululwazi eziqhuba zonke iintlobo zophando, kubandakanywa i-genetics, i-bioengineering, ukuhlolwa kokuxilonga okusandul 'ukuzalwa kunye nezifo ezinqabileyo, zithembele kwiingcebiso ze-pipette ngomsebenzi wabo. Kodwa ukunqongophala kokubonelela kuye kwacothisa umsebenzi othile ngeenyanga, kwaye ixesha elichithwe ekulandeleni uluhlu lwempahla linciphisa ixesha elichithwe kuphando.

"Uchitha ixesha elininzi uqinisekile ukuba uphezulu kuluhlu lwezixhobo kwilebhu," utshilo iYunivesithi yaseCalifornia, isazi ngebhayoloji esenziwa eSan Diego u-Anthony Berndt.Isazinzuluiphephancwadi. "Sichitha yonke imihla ngokukhawuleza sijonga igumbi lesitokhwe, siqinisekisa ukuba sinayo yonke into kwaye sicwangcisa ubuncinci kwiiveki ezintandathu ukuya kwezisibhozo ezizayo."

Umba wekhonkco lokubonelela udlula ngaphaya kwemfuno yeplastiki elandela ubhubhani we-Covid-19. Xa isaqhwithi sasebusika i-Uri sabetha eTexas ngoFebruwari, ukuphuma kombane kwabetha izityalo ezenza i-polypropylene resin, into ekrwada.iingcebiso zeplastiki pipette, okuye kwakhokelela ekuboneleleni okuncinci kweengcebiso, iingxeloIindaba ze-STAT.
