ABSTRACT
The conventional PCR remains a valuable method to detect the newly emergent coronavirus rapidly and accurately. Our investigation aimed to establish the standard materials of SARS-CoV-2 for NAAT detection. We provided formalin-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 and confirmed RNA copy numbers. In addition, the virus genome was confirmed with whole-genome sequencing and identified as Wuhan/WI04/2019. Seven laboratories were invited for this collaborative study, according to the reporting data, we determined the SARS-CoV-2 with the unit of 6.35 Log10 copies/mL as the national standard. The availability of the national standard (NS) of SARS-CoV-2 will facilitate the standardization and harmonization of SARS-CoV-2 NAAT assays.
