Modernizing cell culture processes for the next wave of genomic medicine

Pharmaceutical Technology

“For each production process, you have to generate the plasmids in huge quantities with GMP quality and then do a transient transfection, meaning you mix them with a transfection reagent and add that to the cells in a very controlled way,” explains Faust. For example, researchers have developed a two-plasmid cotransfection system.

Eurofins GeneScan Technologies Announces AOAC PTM Accreditation for the VIRSeek SARS-CoV-2 Detection Workflow on Environmental Surfaces under the AOAC SARS-CoV-2 Emergency Response Validation Program

The Pharma Data

Recent research has shown that virus contamination of environmental surfaces may lead to viral transfer and therefore an acceleration of outbreaks. The VIR Seek SARS-CoV-2 Solution includes all required reagents for surface sampling and ensures the effective uptake of the virus from various surface types.

How Can Rapid mRNA Quantification Enhance Multivalent Vaccine Development?

XTalks

While RT-PCR methods can handle some level of multiplexing, they do require specialized, contamination-free environments. The result was a prepackaged, off-the-shelf reagent kit that provided reliable quantification for a wide variety of influenza mRNA vaccine constructs.
