General Testing

Exclusion testing for extraneous agents involves propagation of target agents in a range of sensitive culturing systems.


Bacterial culture systems

Bacterial, Fungal and Protozoan culture systems

Vero Monolayer

Vero Cell Monolayers


General assays for the detection of inclusion bodies and multinucleated cells are performed by visual observation of Cytopathic Effect (CPE) and H&E staining, or haemadsorption of guinea pig and chicken blood on cell monolayers.
