PROtrol SARS-CoV-2 (Isolate: USA-WA1/2020) (1 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. SARS-CoV-2 was propagated in VeroE6 cells. The viral culture fluid was clarified via centrifugation to remove cellular debris prior to inactivation. PROtrol™ (Protein control) is formulated with viral particles that have been modified to render them non-infectious. Each vial contains 1.0 mL of SARS-CoV-2 PROtrol™ frozen in 2% MEM media. The pre-inactivation titer was determined from an infectious aliquot. Each lot of PROtrol™ is tested using an N-protein ELISA developed internally at ZeptoMetrix. Viral inactivation is verified by the absence of viral growth in tissue culture-based infectivity assay.

PROtrol™ is intended for use in analytical and quality control testing of antigen-based assays. The suitability and performance characteristics should be determined by your laboratory for each intended usage.
