The buffers used in this lysis step yield varying results [11, 13, 15, 16] ; however, unlike 224 previous studies [11] , this study found that AVL buffer alone was successfully able to fully 225 inactivate up to 5 log10 of virus from three different primary isolates of SARS-CoV-2. Previous 234 studies have shown that GITC-lysis buffers are able to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 samples [11, 12] ; 235 however, the addition of Triton-X may be necessary for complete inactivation [11] . Therefore, formaldehyde treatment does not appear to be a 247 solution for increased molecular SARS-CoV-2 testing; however, it does remain a viable alternative 248 for sample inactivation or disinfection. ./cache/cord-268034-7id7sfsu.txt ./txt/cord-268034-7id7sfsu.txt
