Custom Virus Production
All researchers have unique needs when it comes to the viral and bacterial preparations required for their research. Some research demands a high purity concentrated virus, while others demand a high titer. And while all concentrated viral and bacterial preparations require rigorous quality control procedures, the individual assays required to determine product specifications vary widely according to research needs.
ABI has many options available to allow researchers to customize their viral and bacterial preparations to fit their research needs. When only the purest products are needed, ABI’s Purified Virus assures the highest purity viral preparations. When a high infectious titer is essential, ABI offers Direct Pelleted Virus, with concentrations available from 100X - 5000X.
Quality Control (QC) testing is a critical part of ABI’s production process. Sterility and Mycoplasma testing are performed on every custom virus product. In addition, the following QC assays are available:
- Infectivity titer
- Protein Concentration
- Virus Particle Count by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
Other assays may be available on request. QC assays may also be performed in-process to monitor the growth of custom viruses.
Because each custom product is unique, production times vary according to custom product specifications. Please allow a minimum of 8-12 weeks for us to create your custom order.
