Viral Quality Assurance Panels Used by RADx-rad Projects

This repository contains the following data for inactivated viruses used by the NIH COVID-19 RADx-rad initiative for method benchmarking and validation.

Resource	Description
Inactivated Virus Metadata	Includes virus ID, lineage, source, inactivation method, concentration, and growth conditions.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)	Safety documentation for handling each inactivated virus batch.
