Vericheck ddPCR Replication Competent AAV Kit
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is commonly used as a viral vector in cell and gene therapy production, but there is a risk of it becoming a replication competent virus (RCV) during the production process, especially in the presence of a helper virus, which can raise safety concerns. While the guidelines recommend a cell culture–based method for RCAAV testing, it is cumbersome and takes 30–45 days from sample to results. Verichec…
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is commonly used as a viral vector in cell and gene therapy production, but there is a risk of it becoming a replication competent virus (RCV) during the production process, especially in the presence of a helper virus, which can raise safety concerns. While the guidelines recommend a cell culture–based method for RCAAV testing, it is cumbersome and takes 30–45 days from sample to results. Vericheck ddPCR™ RCAAV Kit is a fast, cost-effective, specific, and fully validated solution for AAV testing.
