Virus Counter® Plus & Virotag® Reagents
Our goal is to revolutionize virus quantification with the Virus Counter® Plus platform. By providing rapid, precise, and real-time measurement of virus concentrations, we aim to enhance research and development processes and to streamline manufacturing processes. With automated 96-well format processing, advanced fluorescence detection, and user-friendly software, the Virus Counter® Plus ensures efficient and reliable results, empowering scientists and manufacturers to achieve new levels of productivity and precision in their work.
The Virus Counter® Plus platform utilizes Virotag® reagents for precise virus detection and quantification. These reagents, are designed for specific and high-affinity labeling of viral proteins and nucleic acids. The straightforward staining process, combined with the platform’s advanced detection capabilities, ensures accurate measurement of virus particles in a variety of samples. This allows for reliable and consistent results, making Virotag® an essential component of the Virus Counter® Plus system.
The Virus Counter® Plus platform revolutionizes virus quantification for industry, particularly in fields such as Advanced Therapeutics , Viral Vector manufacturing and Vaccines. Customers in cell and gene therapy rely on the Virus Counter® Plus for its rapid, accurate measurement of total virus particles, unlike traditional methods that are slow and imprecise. As viruses become crucial tools in gene therapy, vaccines, and cell modifications, the Virus Counter® Plus meets the growing and evolving market demands efficiently and effectively.
