In respond to the public health event of global SARS-CoV-2 epidemic, most laboratories use nucleic acid amplification techniques to screen for SARS-CoV-2. In reference to Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA), proclamation on manufacturing document for nucleic acid testing reagents in respond to coronavirus emergency usage, it is required to use the corresponding reference materials for evaluateing the products' efficiency. To support the domestic research and development industry, TFDA emergently made the SARS-CoV-2 national standards and respiratory relevant virus panel. The SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid national standard was prepared by cell culture and inactivated with 0.01% formalin. The inactivated stock was divided into 324 vials (0.5 mL/vial) candidate National Standard (Lot: 109-03). To enhance the objectivity and credibility, the international collaborative study for the SARS-CoV-2 National Standard was held with 7 institutes, covering 4 different analytical methods and 3 target genes. The mean contents of the candidate National Standard was 6.35 log copies/mL. In addition, the respiratory virus panel collected 9 respiratory viruses including HCoV-OC43, HCoV-229E, HCoV-NL63, Influenza A/B, Adenovirus, Respiratory syncytial virus, Rhinovirus, and parainfluenza, which were inactivated and quantified by appropriate methods. The established SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid standards and respiratory virus panel had all been provided to the manufacturer, which served as a basis for the research and development and quality control of IVD kits. |
