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
Each frozen aliquot contains 1 mL of UV inactivated viral culture fluid
The preinactivation titer was determined from an infectious aliquot
Viral inactivation is verified after UV inactivation by the absence of viral growth in tissue culture based infectivity assays.
Store at -10°C or below. Repetitive freezing and thawing are not recommended (aliquot as necessary). Thawed material may be stored at 4°C for short-term usage.
