Rapid Virus Quantification
Products from ViroCyt, now part of Sartorius Stedim Biotech, are leading the field of rapid virus quantification. Our goal is to provide the tools that deliver meaningful improvements to mission critical processes, where viruses play a significant role.
Virus Counter® 3100 platform is purpose build to rapidly and precisely quantify total virus particles in process development and manufacturing processes.
- Accelerate time-to-result and time-to-market for vaccines and viral therapies.
- Speed up development times with real-time titer insights.
- Increase product safety and quality by in-depth sample characterization.
Applications:
- Vaccine production
- Protein expression
- Viral therapeutics
- Antiviral development
Our virus quantification products offer a new approach to enable direct, biologically-specific quantification of viruses in minutes, rather than the days or weeks required by more traditional methods. Virus samples are labeled with specifically-developed reagents in a no-wash assay. The purpose-build platform enables quantification of total virus particles in three minutes per the sample, giving users real-time insights into viral titers.
Meet The Virus Counter® Platform: The Powerful Tool for Rapid Virus Quantification
The Virus Counter® Platform is in use by leading companies, regulatory agencies, and research agencies around the world. Why? A growing body of evidence demonstrates that noninfective particles are of biological importance and can impact both in vitro and in vivo studies. Infectivity and total particle concentration are essential for in-depth sample characterization.
The Virus Counter Platform Delivers More of What Matters When Quantifying Viruses
- Speed - Real-time quantification for process monitoring and production optimization
- Biologically-relevant readout – Total viral particle quantification
- Versatility - High-specificity and universal quantification reagents
- Ease of use – software-assisted system operation (including 21CFR Part 11 capabilities)
