General Virology Applications

Viral Growth/Titration

Viral titration assays allow quantification of virus concentration and production and isolation of purified virus. BioTek Imaging and Microscopy instruments with Gen5™ Image Analysis Software automate viral growth and titration assays.

• Detection of CPE
• Calculation of TCID₅₀
• Fluorescent FFA
• Plaque assay

Viral Replication Kinetics

Viral replication and growth kinetics provide key information for understanding virus-host interactions. BioTek Imaging and Microscopy instruments and Automation accessories provide live cell imaging and analysis capabilities.

• Viral growth kinetics
• Subcellular localization during virus lifecycle
• Replication complexes

Viral Detection

For both basic research and clinical applications, the ability to quickly detect virus in a sample is key to any virology pipeline. With BioTek Imaging and Detection instruments, virus can be detected using a variety of methods, while BioTek Liquid Handlers and Stackers increase assay efficiency and throughput.  

• Rapid ELISA screen
• Fluorescent detection of immunolabed/reporter strains
• Screening antibodies for viral detection
