Heat inactivation of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2
Abstract
Supernatants of cells infected with SARS-CoV-2, nasopharyngeal and sera samples containing SARS-CoV-2 were submitted to heat inactivation for various periods of time, ranging from 30 seconds to 60 minutes. Our results showed that SARS-CoV-2 could be inactivated in less than 30 minutes, 15 minutes and 3 minutes at 56{degrees}C, 65{degrees}C and 95{degrees}C respectively. These data could help laboratory workers to improve their protocols with handling of the virus in biosafety conditions.
