Overview

The development of viral vector vaccines and therapeutics means overcoming many challenges. 

Intuitive, innovative and informative analytical solutions for viral-vector characterization help ensure safe and effective drugs and let you stay focused. 

Work with an evolving partner to realize the full potential of using viral vectors—such as adenoviruses (AVs), adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) and lentiviruses (LVs)—and virus-like particles as delivery vehicles for nucleic acid-based gene therapies and vaccines.  

Workflow

Genome integrity and protein profiling

Viral vector characterization for vaccine and therapeutic drug development includes assessing multiple critical quality attributes (CQAs). This can be a cumbersome task, especially when different serotypes require assay adjustments.

Save time by characterizing multiple CQAs with serotype-independent workflows on a single platform. The ability to determine viral protein profiles, genome integrity, nucleic acid impurities, titer and full and empty ratios with high sensitivity on a user-friendly system lets you move your viral vector programs forward with confidence.

  • Simplify vector analysis with high-definition, serotype-independent workflows
  • Assess multiple CQAs with high-quality data on a single platform 
  • Determine capsid protein profiles, genome integrity, impurities and titer 
  • Cover your compliance needs through compatibility with the Empower Chromatography Data System (CDS)
