SARS-CoV-2 (Isolate: USA-WA1/2020) Culture Fluid (Heat Inactivated) (0.5 mL)

SARS-Related Coronavirus 2 (Isolate: USA-WA1/2020) is an enveloped, positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus from the Coronaviridae family and the Betacoronaviridae genus. This virus was isolated from a patient with a respiratory illness who had returned from travel to the affected region of China and developed COVID-19 in January 2020 in Washington, USA. The genomic sequence can be found in GenBank MN985325. Each frozen aliquot contains 0.50 mL of heat inactivated viral culture fluid. The pre-inactivation titer was determined from an infectious aliquot. Viral inactivation is verified after heat inactivation by the absence of viral growth in tissue culture-based infectivity assays.
