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
