Heat-inactivated SARS-CoV-2

VR-1986HK

Download Genome Learn about the ATCC Genome Portal

This product is a whole-genome sequenced preparation of Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strain 2019-n-CoV/USA-WA1/2020 that has been inactivated by heating. This strain was originally isolated from a human case in Washington state and was deposited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This product is intended for use in molecular assays or as a process control (eg, viral RNA extraction through qPCR amplification process), and it can also be used to make a dilution series to estimate level of detection.

Documentation

ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.

ATCC highly recommends that appropriate personal protective equipment is always used when handling vials. For cultures that require storage in liquid nitrogen, it is important to note that some vials may leak when submersed in liquid nitrogen and will slowly fill with liquid nitrogen. Upon thawing, the conversion of the liquid nitrogen back to its gas phase may result in the vial exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris. Unless necessary, ATCC recommends that these cultures be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen rather than submersed in liquid nitrogen.

Characteristics

Comments

This product is a preparation of Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strain 2019-nCoV/USA-WA1/2020 that has been inactivated by heating to 65°C for 30 minutes and is therefore unable to replicate.

Each vial contains approximately 0.25 mL of heat-inactivated, clarified cell lysate and supernatant from Vero E6 cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 strain 2019-nCoV/USA-WA1/2020. The vial should be centrifuged prior to opening.

The long-term stability of this preparation is not known at this time. It is recommended that users confirm the activity of the product if not used within three months of receipt.

Acknowledgment for publications should read "The following reagent was deposited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and obtained through BEI Resources, NIAID, NIH: Genomic RNA from SARS-Related Coronavirus 2, Isolate USA-WA1/2020, NR-52285."
