SARS-CoV-2 (Isolate: USA-WA1/2020) Lysate (0.5 mg)

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.The virus is purified using sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation, disrupted in the presence of 0.5% Triton X-100 non-ionic detergent/0.6 M KCl, and heat inactivated. Each frozen aliquot contains 0.5 mg of viral lysate per the BCA total protein assay. Viral inactivation is verified after heat inactivation by the absence of viral growth in tissue culture-based infectivity assays.
