Product Description

Venor® Bacteria qPCR is a real-time PCR assay for rapid detection of bacterial contamination in cell cultures, cell culture-derived biologicals, and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs). Unlike traditional culture-based sterility testing, the assay also detects slow growing and viable but non-culturable (VBNC) bacteria. By targeting the highly conserved 16S rRNA coding region in the bacterial genome, Venor® Bacteria qPCR provides highly sensitive and reliable results in under 3 hours.

Two workflows support different applications:

  • Rapid screening in research & development
  • QC release testing of cell-based products and ATMPs as a fast alternative to conventional sterility testing
