In response to the concern raised by Prof Chan, we designed another design and the appearance is tablet package alike. As the bottom is curve-like shape, even if the freeze-dried cell-free system melt and spread around, or cannot condense totally at the bottom, the curve-shape can help settle down the cell-free solution. During the use, tear off the firm firstly, and add a certain amount of water by dropper. After hydration, similar to previous design, add the sample by cotton wool. The procedures afterward (eg the verification) are equivalent to previous design. | In response to the concern raised by Prof Chan, we designed another design and the appearance is tablet package alike.

− | Apart from smaller size when compared to the previous design, fewer materials are used, which is more environmental-friendly. For the medical track, as mentioned above in procedure section, there are 7 wells (with freeze-dried cell-free system) in one plate and every patient will only consume 1 plate. | + | Apart from smaller size when compared to the previous design, fewer materials are used, which is more environmental-friendly.

For the sake of convenience, especially on-site mass-screening detection carried by immigration or agriculture department, a larger plate with more wells is prepared, allowing mass detection at the same time. | For the sake of convenience, especially on-site mass-screening detection carried by immigration or agriculture department, a larger plate with more wells is prepared, allowing mass detection at the same time. | ||

In spite of appreciation of tablet design by Prof Chan, he commented that RNA may degrade during sampling, also the amount of sample is not standardized, which may interfere with the result. Such concerns render further improvement on next design. | In spite of appreciation of tablet design by Prof Chan, he commented that RNA may degrade during sampling, also the amount of sample is not standardized, which may interfere with the result.
