Viral vector analysis

Adeno-associated virus-like particles (AAV) have become a popular method of gene delivery, paving the way for gene therapies, including CRISPR/Cas9 editing.

Unfortunately, not all viral particles are correctly packed after production, lacking the important DNA payload. Accurately determining the capsid “fill-ratio” of viral vector delivery systems is thus essential for the development and manufacture of safe and reliable drug products.

Get precise viral vector fill rate analysis with cryo-EM technology

ATEM’s cryo-EM technology gives you statistically valid, highly accurate insights into the full and empty capsid ratio of your sample with single-particle precision. Not only that – we can show you the fraction of partially filled particles in your sample.

We ensure the most reliable results for your project through rapid turnaround times and the highest quality standards under GMP regulations.
