Chapter 1069: Flow Cytometry

"Don't just think about yourself, how much material cost are Zhongmu going to ask us?" Yang Rui's Haidian District Genetic Engineering Laboratory got 11 million yuan in cash, and the use of Zhongmu's Simmental cattle herd is the main expense. As for whether Jiang Zhijun and others make millions www.biquge.info or tens of millions, Yang Rui doesn't particularly care.

Reform and opening up is a torrent, rolling forward, there must always be someone to get rich, what normal people can do is to find a way to keep up with the torrent, there is no way and there is no need to care about how others use it.

Jiang Zhijun took a few seconds to retract his heart, and said with a smile: "A cow is 1,400 yuan, which is 100 yuan more than our opening price." ”

Without the technology of embryo transfer, the Simmental cattle of Zhongmu can expand the population twice every year, and the price of a calf is not much.

Of course, after the embryo transfer technology is adopted, the herd can perform three super-ovulation in a year, which is to earn 3 calves and 30 calves.

And for Yang Rui, it is a little more than one-tenth of the cost, in the herd is close to 3,000 cows, he does a super-ovulation, it will cost 4.2 million, and 30,000 embryo transfers, but at least 33 million, if the process is done, the technical control is slightly better, it is not surprising to increase 4 million at will.

Yang Rui nodded slightly and said, "I want to sign a three-year contract with Zhongmu." ”

"No problem for 3 years. Jiang Zhijun also knew why Yang Rui signed for three years, and after three years, the new batch of Simmental cattle would grow up, and there was no need to point to the population resources of Zhongmu.

"That's good. Yang Rui also felt much more relaxed, and said with a smile: "You pay me in stages, and notify me before and after, I want to buy the instrument." ”

Jiang Zhijun knew that Yang Rui was going to use the money to buy instruments, but he didn't expect Yang Rui's demand to be so fast, and he couldn't help laughing: "You have already chosen something." ”

"Of course, how fast you can pick things. Yang Rui sighed with emotion and said, "It's just that the money is too slow." ”

Jiang Zhijun laughed twice, his eyes were full of various emotions, and he was clearly saying: You still think the money is too slow?

Of course, the genetic engineering laboratory is a public laboratory, and the money comes from state-owned enterprises and goes to state-owned units, although Yang Rui is operating and using it in the middle, but the ownership belongs to the state after all, and it has no impact, and it can't stir up much turmoil.

In contrast, the Zhike biotechnology service company owned by Jiang Zhijun and others may be more eye-catching after making a profit. However, such a company with a high-tech name, although it is easy to make money, it is rare to be affected by red eye.

"What kind of instrument do you want to buy, do you need my help?" Jiang Zhijun's various thoughts passed, and he became curious about Yang Rui's choice again.

Yang Rui shook his head with a smile and said, "You just enjoy the results." ”

"Can we use it?" Jiang Zhijun raised his head and smiled and spoke, not in a good mood.

"It's always useful, like flow cytometry. Yang Rui was also in a good mood, and explained casually: "Didn't we do research on gender identification before? If gender control is concerned, it is not particularly convenient, and the flow cytometer can do this." ”

"How?" Jiang Zhijun's eyes widened, he hadn't heard of this.

"Whether a cow's sperm determines whether a bull or a cow is born, you know the X and Y chromosomes. In the sperm of bulls, some have a Y chromosome, and some do not. ”

Jiang Zhijun was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Yang Rui continued: "The flow cytometer can be transformed into an assembly line cell separator, when you want a cow, the flow cytometer turns to separate the bull sperm that is all X chromosomes, and the artificial insemination is all cows, otherwise, the artificial insemination is all Y chromosome, and all the bulls come out." It's very convenient and the resolution is high. ”

Jiang Zhijun was dumbfounded when he heard this: "It's just that the instrument is turned, and the one who wants the male has the male, and the one who wants the female has the female?"

"Yes. After passing the bovine's ** out of the flow cytometer, the male and female are separated when they are in the liquid state. Yang Rui swiped twice in the air with his hand, which can be regarded as a illustrated explanation.

"Foreign technology is so advanced?" Jiang Zhijun said with some envy.

Yang Rui pouted: "What does it have to do with foreign technology, foreigners also study this, let's cut him off." ”

"Haven't studied it abroad yet?"

"At least it hasn't been used on site, so let's make it live for him first. Yang Rui's face was narrow. To make a gender control system in the field, you must first have a field where you can do experiments.

The close relationship between foreign academia and industry is also relative, and those who do research carry instruments to other people's pastures, and often use other people's valuable cows for experiments, and think about it, you also know that there are a lot of nonsense and requirements.

In addition, there have long been various gender control methods abroad, such as the simplest electrophoresis method, which can also isolate sperm, or simply use manual methods, and it is more common to give up some embryos. In addition, for large foreign technical service companies, it is okay to adopt different sales strategies after identifying the male and female.

This is where the advantages of technologically advanced countries lie.

Early-mover countries do not make it as easy to use new technologies as they do in late-mover countries because of the competition of existing technologies.

Yang Rui now buys a few flow cytometers, which can be used on the bulls of Zhongmu, which is not so convenient for foreign research institutions.

In addition, the development of corresponding supporting technologies is another threshold.

For example, various reagents, corresponding technical parameters, etc., also require a lot of experiments to measure, Yang Rui has the corresponding information, just find a flow cytometer with a similar technical level.

In comparison, his foreign counterparts have more work, and if it is normal, it will take almost four years for them to develop various supporting reagents and determine various parameters.

For the genetic engineering laboratory, if Yang Rui designs the original version, whether it needs to be improved or not, the work will not be too difficult. And this is the focus of the next stage of research, which is still not a very heavyweight field, but after all, it is still a world-leading position, and it is still rare for a district-level laboratory.

In the midst of all the disturbances, the embryo transfer of the first 200 cows was completed.

Looking at the boundless 1,000 local cattle, the general manager of Zhongmu who came to visit was full of emotion.

"These cows are pregnant with Simmental calves in their bellies?" The boss was dressed in a tunic and cowboy boots, looking like he had just been caught by aliens and barely ran back.

Director Mei was in high spirits and said: "That's right, and they are all Simmental cows, and in addition, there are more than 1,000 embryos, which are now frozen in the cold storage of the Haidian District Genetic Engineering Laboratory." They had limited manpower, so they separated the male and female first, transplanted the female to us first, and froze the male and then used it. ”

The boss didn't ask more about what the embryo was for, but kicked the ground twice with cowboy boots, and continued to sigh: "I didn't expect that when I read books before, I thought that the story of the dove occupying the magpie's nest was incredible, and now I have seen the embryo transfer." ”

Yang Rui, who was accompanying him, had a stiff face, and used the dove to occupy the magpie's nest as a metaphor for embryo transfer, which was really ...... Kind of fit.

Director Mei happened to be a little unsure of how to respond to the boss's question, and when he saw Yang Rui's expression, he immediately pushed him out.

In the warm smiles of a group of middle-aged and elderly officials, Yang Rui accepted a three-minute routine question, and was asked questions that everyone was concerned about.

I only heard the boss use a very sincere voice, like a hoarse voice that had just been tortured by aliens, and said: "Yang Rui, look at the remaining thousands of cows, when will it be finished?"

"We are now concentrating on the list of middle pastors, and it is estimated that it will take two or three months. Yang Rui replied equally sincerely.

The boss was surprised: "Two or three months?"

"Yes, at least for that long. ”

"In this case, it's the New Year. The boss looked a little worried, and so did the officials next to him, and there was a whisper of discussion.

Director Mei saw that the fire was almost over, came out to add firewood, and said: "Yang Rui, we Zhongmu hope to complete it as soon as possible, the slowest is to be completed before the Chinese New Year." ”

Yang Rui smiled bitterly: "No one wants to work during the Chinese New Year, but there is no way, we have encountered a lot of problems." ”

"If there is a problem, solve the problem, I came today to solve the problem, Yang Rui, you say. When the boss heard Yang Rui's words, he stomped his feet, and muddy water splashed everywhere.

Yang Ruixin said, you are a little too involved in acting, besides, you are too hard.
