Quantitative Synthetic Avian Influenza Virus (H5N6) RNA

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.

Manufactured under ISO 13485 guidance

This product is based on the A/goose/Guangdong/GS018/2015 influenza virus sequence with few modifications to accommodate manufacturing and product compatibility with H5-specific and N6-specific assays. The section of the hemagglutinin gene encoding the polybasic cleavage site in the protein has been removed.

For information regarding the in silico analysis of primer/probe matches with the product sequence, please review the technical data sheet.

1. Thaw the vial on ice. Avoid exposing the synthetic RNA to repeated freeze-thaw cycles as it may result in degradation of the RNA and variation in copy number.
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.

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 synthetic RNA. Gentle pipetting is highly recommended. Aliquoting is highly recommended to avoid multiple freeze-thaws, which can damage the synthetic RNA.

This construct is synthetically derived and therefore does not contain any viable material and cannot replicate.
