Simple Plex™ Assays for Viral Titer Quantification

Fast and reproducible viral capsid measurement is essential for those focused on gene transfer, as part of a cell and gene therapy workflow. While traditional plate-based and dot blot assays can be useful, they are often complex, time-consuming, and non-standardized. See how Simple Plex assays on the EllaTM platform are used for viral titer quantification. Next, meet Ella and request information. Finally, choose the Simple Plex Assay that best meets your needs.

Fast and Reproducible AAV Vector Titration

To meet increased throughput and safety demands, investigators are seeking more automated analytical solutions for assessment of viral vector identity, purity, and stability. Simple Plex AAV assays on the Ella platform provide an accurate and efficient method for measuring the AAV capsid titer. The assay uses the recombinant AAV antibodies from industry leader PROGEN to quantify assembled AAV capsids.

Combining the proven specificity of PROGEN AAV antibodies with the convenient workflow and robustness of the Ella platform, Simple Plex AAV viral titer assays:

  • Offer a broad viral detection range combined with hands-free automation to accelerate AAV viral capsid quantification
  • Use factory calibrated assay cartridges, which minimize setup time and reduce user-dependent variability while reducing the need for sample retests
  • Rely on the innovative Ella platform to perform every step of the immunoassay automatically, from wash steps to final
  • Provide a robust alternative to the conventional ELISA or dot blot approaches
  • Deliver superior assay sensitivity, helping to ensure data quality and consistency

Simple Plex AAV application note

Comparing Simple Plex AAV Assays With the PROGEN AAV ELISAs

In this application note, we demonstrate assay comparability between the Simple Plex AAV assays and the PROGEN AAV Titration ELISAs to show that you get the same high-quality data you would expect from the PROGEN ELISA with an automated, streamlined workflow.

 

 

Creating Lentiviral Vectors With Fast, Reliable Viral Titration

With the growing use of lentiviral vectors derived from HIV-1 in gene transfer workflows, researchers need fast, reliable viral titer quantification during process development. The 3-to-6-hour timeframe required to run a standard ELISA is a challenge for operators who increasingly require results quickly to inform real-time decision-making.

The Simple Plex assay for the detection of human HIV-1 Gag p24 combines high throughput with superior accuracy and precision to enable rapid quantification of lentiviral capsid proteins throughout different stages of cell and vector manufacturing. The automated, reproducible nature of the Simple Plex p24 assay helps eliminate user error, making it an ideal tool in good manufacturing practice (GMP) environments where quality, standardization of process, assay transfer, and scalability are highly desirable.
