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

SARS-Related Coronavirus 2 (Isolate: USAWA1/2020) 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 culturebased infectivity assays.

INTENDED USE:
Viral lysates are intended for research, product development, or further manufacturing use. The performance characteristics of this product should be tested by your laboratory for each intended usage.
These products are NOT intended for use in the manufacture or processing of injectable products subject to licensure under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act or for any other product intended for administration to humans.
