Virotag® Reagent Kits for Virus Counter® Platform
Rapid, Direct, Biologically Relevant Virus Quantitation
The Virus Counter® platform and Virotag® reagents were specially developed to quantify viruses rapidly and with high specificity utilizing the Virus Counter® instrument. The reagents offer a biologically-relevant readout with versatility to address unique quantification needs. Virus samples stained with Virotag® reagents are quantified after a 30-minute incubation.
Virotag® DY reagents are based on a dual stain approach that uses fluorogenic dyes to detect virus particles. The reagent can be used for the quantification of all enveloped viruses. The Virotag® reagent product line is based on an antibody-driven recognition of virus particles. Antibodies selected in the Virotag® reagents are labeled with fluorophores and are highly specific for indicated viruses.
Use the Virotag® AB (antibody-based) and Virotag® DY (dye-based) reagents to label your virus samples and analyze on the Virus Counter® instrument. Enables real-time tracking of virus titer in your process:
Enveloped Virus
Virotag® DY ENV Reagent

The Virotag® DY detection system is a ready-to-use, simple, and universal approach for virus quantification. This reagent is compatible with all enveloped viruses, with single or double-stranded DNA or RNA genome. This universal reagent is based on a dual strain approach that identifies intact virus particles by simultaneous detection of protein and nucleic acid signals. The use of fluorogenic dyes eliminates the need to wash.
Novel approach enabling direct, biologically-specific quantification of viruses in minutes rather than the days or weeks.
