Abstract

Dengan semakin meningkatnya kasus terkonfirmasi positif COVID-19 di wilayah provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), suatu metode pemeriksaan diagnostik yang dapat menganalisa sampel dalam jumlah banyak dengan waktu singkat menjadi sangat imperatif untuk dilakukan. Menyikapi hal ini, sejumlah putra-putri NTT yang tergabung dalam organisasi Forum Academia NTT (FAN) memprakarsai penerapan metode pooled-test untuk analisa diagnostik sampel COVID-19 yang diharapkan dapat mengoptimalkan program pemerintah dalam mempercepat penanganan penyakit ini di wilayah NTT. Pada Maret 2020 lalu, sebanyak 13 teknisi laboratorium (laboran) telah berhasil diseleksi yang akan ditempatkan pada Laboratorium Biomolekuler Kesehatan Masyarakat Provinsi NTT, khususnya untuk menjalankan prosedur analisis sampel menggunakan metode tersebut di atas. Akan tetapi, sebelum para laboran ini siap beraktivitas, diperlukan suatu pelatihan khusus yang dapat membekali mereka dengan kompetensi dan keterampilan dasar yang diperlukan. Pada Juni 2020, pelatihan Biomolekuler tahap I telah dilaksanakan yang memiliki maksud dan tujuan tersebut. Topik pelatihan yang diajarkan berupa: Pengenalan Biosafety Lab dan Biosafety Cabinet, Teknik Penggunaan Mikropipet, Teknik Analisis DNA/RNA menggunakan metode Elektroforesis, Nano-Spektrofotometer, PCR dan qPCR, serta Pengenalan metode Pooled-test. Berdasarkan hasil observasi, para peserta dianggap telah cukup menguasai berbagai teknik Biomolekuler Dasar yang diajarkan yang diharapkan dapat berkontribusi terhadap hasil penanganan analisis sampel yang lebih akurat, terpercaya dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan.
