【Product Name】
Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Nucleic Acid Detection Kit
(Real-time RT-PCR Method)
【Package Specification】
50 tests/kit & 200 tests/kit
【Intended Use】
This kit is used for the detection of COVID-19(ORF1ab/N Gene) Nucleic Acid and
assisted diagnosis and epidemiological surveillance of COVID-19. This is a
qualitative PCR test for the detection of nucleic acid in nasopharyngeal swabs
from patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Patients may have mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of sore throat,
cough, fever and shortness of breath and many have had complications including
pneumonia. Patients may also be asymptomatic individuals with recent known or
suspected exposure to SARS-CoV-2 or asymptomatic individuals without known
or suspected exposure to SARS-CoV-2 for early identification in special settings.
【Test Principle】
The kit adopts the principle of real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR technology,
designs specific primers and probes for COVID-19(ORF1ab/N gene) ,
and combines them with real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR instrument to
detect the nucleic acid of COVID-19 virus. So as to realize the qualitative detection
of COVID-19 virus nucleic acid.
In addition, the PCR detection system uses the positive internal control,
which monitors the presence of PCR inhibitors in test specimens by detecting
whether the internal control signal is normal,to avoid a false negative result.

channels:FAM, HEX and Cy5, where FAM channel is ORF1ab gene and HEX
channel is N gene. Cy5 channel is the internal control gene, and the reaction system
s set to 25 µl.

【Positive Judgement Value and Reference Interval】
1. Condition Setting for Result Analysis
The adjustment principle of Baseline and Threshold is generally based on the results
of the automatic analysis of the instrument. When the overall slope of the curve
appears, the Start, End,and Threshold values of the Baseline can be adjusted
according to the image. Usually, the user can adjust it according to the actual
situation. The Start value can be set to 3-15, and the End value can be set to 5-20.
Adjust the amplification curve of the negative control to make it straight or below
the thresh hold line.
2. The Validity of The Kit
2.1 The COVID-19 Positive Control:FAM, HEX and Cy 5 channels have typical
S-type amplification curves and Cts≤32.
2.2 The COVID-19 Negative Control:FAM, HEX and Cy 5 channels have no
Ct or Ct>38.
2.3 Note:The above conditions must be met at the same time, otherwise this
experiment is invalid and needs to be repeated.
3.The Positive Judgment Value
Through the study of reference values, it was determined that the Ct reference value
of the target gene and the internal control gene detected by this kit was both 38.
【The Sample Result Judgment】
1.If the test sample detects atypical S-type amplification curve in the FAM, HEX
and Cy 5 channels and the Ct is≤38, the sample can be judged to be COVID-19
positive.
2.If the test sample has no Ct or Ct>38 in the FAM and HEX channels, and there
is atypical S-type amplification curve in the Internal Control channel(Cy 5) , Cts≤38,
the sample can be judged to be COVID-19 negative.
3.If the test sample only has a Ct values 38 in a single channel of the FAM or HEX
channel, and there is atypical S-type amplification curve in the Internal Control
channel(Cy 5) , Ct≤38, the results need to retest. If the results repeated are
consistent the sample can be judged as COVID-19 positive, the results repeated
are negative except for the typical S-type amplification curve of the Internal Control
channel(Cy 5) , Ct≤38, which could be judged as COVID-19 negative.
4.If no typical S-type amplification curve(No Ct value) or Ct value>38 is detected in
the FAM, HEX, and Cy 5 channels of the test sample, it means that there is a
problem with the quality of the sample or a problem with the operation. If the result
is invalid, you should find and eliminate the cause, collect the sample again,
and repeat the test(if the test result is still invalid, please contact the company) .
【Limitations of Detection Method】
1.Test results of the diagnostic kit can be used only for clinic reference. The clinical
diagnosis and treatment of patients should be considered in conjunction with their
symptoms, signs, medical history and other related conditions.
2.False negative results may occur when the concentration of the detected nucleic
acid in the test sample is below the minimum detection limit of this kit.
3.Improper handling of the tested sample during collection, transportation,
storage, and processing can easily result in RNA degradation and false negative
results.
4.When samples are cross-contaminated during collection, transportation, storage,
and processing, it is easy to get false positive results.
【Product Performance Index】
1.LOD:The limit of detection is 200 copies/ml.
2.Precision:Coefficient of variation (CV%] of precision Ct value within batch≤3%.
3.Specificity:There is no cross reaction between the kit and positive samples, such
as Human Coronavirus HCoV-NL63, Human Coronavirus HCoV-OC43, SARS
Coronavirus, MERS Coronavirus, Influenza A Virus, Influenza B Virus Yamagata,
Victoria, H1N1 Influenza Virus, H3N2 Influenza Virus, H5N1 Influenza Virus,
H7N9 Influenza Virus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus A, Adenovirus(type 2) ,
Adenovirus(type 2) , Mycoplasma Pneumoniae, Chlamydia Pneumoniae,
Pertussis, Streptococcus Pneumoniae, Rhinovirus(Type A) etc.
【Precautions】
1.The entire detection process should be performed strictly in accordance with the
requirements of this manual in the reagent preparation area, sample processing area,
and PCR amplification area, and the experimental clothes, instruments,
and consumables in each area should be used independently and cannot be mixed.
2.To avoid RNA degradation, the sample processing process should be operated at
0-4℃, and the test should be performed immediately after the experiment is
completed. Utensil consumables used in sample processing should be nuclease-free.
3.Negative and positive controls should be set for each experiment.
4.All reagents in the kit should be fully thawed and mixed at room temperature and
centrifuged immediately before use.
5.All negative and positive controls in the kit should be transferred to the sample
preparation area and stored separately before the first use.
6.To prevent fluorescence interference, avoid touching the PCR reaction tube
directly with bare hands, and avoid any marking on the PCR reaction tube.
7.The instrument amplification related parameters should be set in accordance with
the relevant requirements of this manual and different batches of reagents cannot
be mixed.
8.The product waste during the experiment should be detoxified before being
discarded.
【What is Nucleic Acid?】
Nucleic acids are essential for all forms of life, and it is found in all cells. Nucleic acids
come in two natural forms called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
Nucleic acids are made of biopolymers, which are naturally-occurring, repeated sets of
monomers (making polymers) that then create nucleotides, which form nucleic acids.
To understand the structure of nucleic acid, it is important to understand the structure
of the nucleotides that make up nucleic acid.
Nucleic acid is an essential part of all living things and is the building block for both
DNA and RNA. It is found in all cells and also in some viruses. Nucleic acids have a
very diverse set of functions, such as cell creation, the storage and processing of
genetic information, protein building, and the generation of energy cells.
Although their functions may differ, the structures of DNA and RNA are very similar,
with only a few fundamental differences in their molecular make-up
differentiating them.
Sample Types: Sample types include anterior nasal, oropharyngeal, and
nasopharyngeal swabs for samples from asymptomatic individuals and individuals
suspected of having COVID-19 or asymptomatic individuals and saliva samples
collected using the Renji Saliva Collection Kit from individuals suspected
of having COVID-19.
