SARS-CoV-2 (Isolate: USA-WA1/2020) Lysate (1 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 1 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.
