Baculovirus titration

It is essential that an accurate titre of virus be obtained to determine correct multiplicity of infection and to ensure optimal recombinant protein production. Traditionally, baculoviruses have been titrated by plaque assays and antibody based assays and requires 4-6 days. OET has teamed up with Agilent Technologies to introduce a revolutionary QPCR based, baculovirus DNA extraction and quantification kit, 'baculoQUANT all-in-one'. The kit contains reagents to extract viral DNA and quantify accurate titres within hours.
