Achieve fast and reliable detection of fully assembled AAV capsules with PROGEN Dip’n’Check AAV tests
The AAV lateral flow tests represent a quick in-process control suitable for crude lysate as well as purified AAV analysis within less than 20 minutes

Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) vectors have developed to be one of the most commonly used vectors for gene transfer, representing a promising therapeutic approach to target inherited, genetic diseases, and many others. The gene therapy community, attempting to find treatments for a variety of genetic disorders faces several obstacles such as meeting the requirements from regulatory authorities as well as the time pressure caused by the rapidly growing market. Though the use of orthogonal methods is recommended for comprehensive characterization, rapid testing of individual and crude AAV samples during the development and manufacturing process is often difficult. Most precise analytical AAV tools are not convenient for single sample measurements and/or require highly purified samples.
PROGEN´s mission is to provide high-quality products that help advance new therapies and develop existing research processes safely, quickly, and affordably for the gene therapy community. For this reason, the PROGEN team developed the Dip´n´Check AAV kits, based on PROGEN’s expertise in AAV assay development and the urgent need for fast analytical methods in the growing field of AAV-based gene therapy.
The Dip´n´Check AAV lateral flow tests allow fast in-process control at every step of your process and can be used for the analysis of crude lysates as well as purified AAV samples. The kits have been developed by PROGEN based on its unique AAV particle antibodies which detect fully assembled AAV particles and allow the estimate of the actual AAV titer in your sample. These antibodies have widely been proven to be a suitable and reliable tool for the detection of intact AAV capsids.
Possible applications of the Dip’n’Check lateral flow tests include:
Comparison of AAV titers of different AAV preparations to e.g.
Estimation of AAV titers in crude and purified AAV preparations to e.g.
Testing the binding of common AAV antibodies to an AAV capsid variant to e.g.
The rapid, semi-quantitative analysis of the Dip´n´Check AAV kits facilitate the acceleration of decision processes and help save precious time and sample in less than 20 minutes.
Just follow the simple 3-step process:
Prepare your sample by adding the included antibody solutions
Incubate for 10 minutes
Add the lateral flow test stripe and get your result in just 10 minutes
Increase the probability for success and establish how to proceed best in the process early on.
Key features:
- Results in less than 20 minutes
- Suitable for analyzing crude lysate and purified AAV samples
- Ideal in-process control for purification processes for example
- Pre-testing AAV concentrations for downstream analytics
- Available for AAV1, AAV2, AAV3, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8, and AAV9
