On January 12, 2020 Tianlong completed the research and development of the 2019-nCoV detection kit; this kit is used for the quantitative detection of the 2019-nCoV nucleic acid ORF1ab / N gene.

The kit is currently in use at 155 nursing homes and 146 hospitals across China and the first cases of infection confirmed in the provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan and Shaanxi were detected by the new reagent. Tianlong employees have renounced the Chinese Lunar New Year holidays to ensure maximum efficiency of the production plants which have a production capacity of 10,000 tests per day.

In addition, after finding that many first aid labs experienced a high risk of infection for healthcare professionals due to aerosol transmission of the virus, the company immediately launched a research and development program to produce a sample storage solution. infected that ensures inactivation of the virus during the transfer and handling of samples. Currently more than 10,000 solutions have already been produced which have been destined for the various laboratories in the most affected areas.
