ReadyCells™ frozen cell monolayers allow for microbiology laboratories to perform virus culture tests in house. The monolayers can be stored for months and used for virus culture as needed. In conjunction with the company’s fluorescent antibody kits, the esoteric need for reading cytopathic effect (CPE) has been eliminated. The company also provides cell lines and fluorescent antibody kits for the detection and identification of influenza A, influenza B, parainfluenzas 1, 2, and 3, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, Herpes simplex virus, Cytomegalovirus, and Chlamydia. Easy test procedures with ReadyCells allow improved turnaround time for virus culture results to physicians.
