Detailed product information

General

Specific applications
ATCC® Genuine Nucleics can be used for assay development, verification, validation, monitoring of day-to-day test variation, and lot-to-lot performance of molecular-based assays. The quantitative format allows for the generation of a standard curve for quantitative PCR (qPCR) to determine viral load.

Characteristics

Comments

Genomic RNA isolated from a preparation of Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 strain 2019-nCoV/Hong Kong/VM20001061/2020.

Note: The SARS-Related Coronavirus 2, isolate Hong Kong/VM20001061/2020, passage 6 sequence shows 7 sequence variants (6 with single nucleotide polymorphisms and one 27-base pair deletion in the ORF6 region) compared to the SARS-Related Coronavirus 2, isolate Hong Kong/VM20001061/2020 (GISAID: EPI_ISL_412028). The variations were detected by whole genome sequencing. The sequence is available on the ATCC Genome Portal.

Genomic RNA from SARS-CoV-2 must be handled at BSL-2 containment.

Innocuity testing was performed on the extracted RNA and results reported on the Certificate of Analysis.

Acknowledgment for publications should read "The following reagent was deposited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and obtained through BEI Resources, NIAID, NIH: Genomic RNA from SARS-Related Coronavirus 2, Isolate Hong Kong/VM20001061/2020, NR-52388."

Handling information

Handling procedure
  1. Thaw the vial on wet ice. Avoid exposing the RNA to repeated freeze-thaw cycles as it may result in degradation.
  2. Gently mix the sample to ensure an even distribution of material.
  3. Briefly centrifuge the tube before opening to ensure all liquid is at the bottom.
Handling notes
RNA is easily degraded. Take extra precautions against contamination by using new gloves and clean lab coats when working with RNA. Use only RNase-free lab materials when handling this product. Vortexing can damage the RNA. Gentle pipetting is highly recommended. Aliquoting is highly recommended to avoid multiple freeze-thaws, which can damage the RNA.
