Automated integrity analysis of AAV and Adenovirus particles using MiniTEMâ„¢

In this webinar a case study is presented how the integrity of Adeno-associated virus (AAV) and Adenovirus particles can be measured automatically. The analysis is performed using MiniTEM-enabled automatic imaging, detection, classification and quantification of particles. As a result of this analysis, a metric of the proportion of intact versus broken particles is presented.



MiniTEMâ„¢ is a compact low-voltage transmission electron microscope system designed for nanoparticle characterization that is easy to operate. The high-quality images it automatically acquires reveal particle morphologies that can be transformed into accurate metrics.

Learn more how MiniTEM offers objective and reliable visual and quantitative information on particle integrity, size and purity of virus and virus like structures.
