The invention relates to a pseudo-virus standard substance for nucleic acid diagnosis of novel coronavirus 2019-nCov and application thereof. The pseudo-virus standard substance is prepared through the steps of gene synthesis, plasmid extraction, pseudo-virus packaging and the like. Wherein the synthesized gene comprises a novel coronavirus 2019-nCov gene RdRp, a Gene E and a Gene N; the 2019-nCovpseudo-virus standard substance is provided for the first time, is different from RNA synthesized in vitro and clinical positive living virus in the past, perfectly overcomes the defects of RNA and clinical positive living virus, is really suitable for performance evaluation of test kit, comprises limit of detection, specificity, repeatability and the like, and is further applied to clinical diagnosis of 2019-nCov; the pseudo-virus standard substance has the advantages of no pathogenicity, reproducibility, reliable quality control method and stable batch-to-batch, can be stably prepared and supplied for a long time, requires the biological safety level of P2 in a laboratory, and meets the safety requirements of many units.
