Why adeno-associated virus processes need high sensitivity ... (News-Medical.net)

In this article, GatorBio discusses how adeno-associated virus process development benefits from an automated, high-sensitivity quantitation solution.

Efficient, high-throughput adeno-associated virus titer is essential for the development of safe and efficacious viral gene therapies. From antibody engineering to small molecule drug discovery to basic research, Gator Bio can be used to bring meaning to the unknown. An important element of adeno-associated virus development is the genome and capsid titer quantitation. These methods are insufficient for AAV process development and manufacturing. At Gator Bio, we provide researchers the tools and instrumentation to advance their research. The probes used in These vectors have become central to clinical trials of treatments for deficiencies such as hemophilia and thalassemia. Eight parallel channels can process up to 96 samples in less than 30 minutes. From the original inventors of label-free biolayer interferometry (BLI), Gator Bio provides the next generation of BLI technology. AAVs can be used to treat monogenic and ocular diseases. Furthermore, long-term gene expression is retained using this type of viral vector. [https://doi.org/10.3390/ph15010023](https://doi.org/10.3390/ph15010023)

Fluorecare Combo Rapid Test Useful for High Viral Loads in ... (Pharmacy Times)

The test did not reach the World Health Organization's minimum performance requirement, which is 80% sensitivity for SARS-CoV-2, in the study population.

The specificity of the test included 100% for SARS-CoV-2 and RSV and were 96% and 96.9% for influenza A and B, respectively. Clinical performance evaluation of the Fluorecare SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B & RSV rapid antigen combo test in symptomatic individuals. The specificity for SARS-CoV-2, RSV, and influenza A and B were greater than 95%, according to the results of the study. The results showed that the device had good performance for influenzas A, B, and SARS-CoV-2 in individuals with high viral loads. They also said that external validation of the RAD tests are important to confirm the results. Investigators said that this could be useful to allow rapid self-isolation, since the transmissibly of viruses increase with the viral load.
