Viral titer measurement
Help improve the reproducibility of your experiments. Cavidi offers a range of validated Reverse Transcriptase assay kits for fast, easy, and accurate measurement of infectious viral titers.
RT Activity Kits
Cavidi offers five different kits for analysis of Reverse Transcriptase (RT) activity. In addition, there is the capability to custom develop kits tailored to specific needs.
The five RT Activity kits are based on a highly sensitive, non-radioactive ELISA-technique on a 96-well microtitre plate format. The kits can be used for either detection or quantification of RT activity.
Another application is screening for potential RT inhibitors. The five assays are optimized for RTs from different retroviruses and together cover all known types and subtypes.
RT Kit stock outs: We are experiencing production delays and supply shortages causing a back order situation due to COVID-19. Our RT Kit availability is limited and your order may be delayed. Minimum order quantity is required which may impact delivery times. We are working on solving these issues and thank you for your understanding.
