October 2016—Binding Site’s Immunological Group announced the addition of two rubella antigens and a cytomegalovirus antigen along with the availability of special protein reagents to in vitro diagnostic manufacturers.
The rubella antigens are derived and sourced from infected cells, via culture, which are then treated by UV irradiation to inactivate the pathogenic components. The ultra-purified and ultra-sensitive variant is ideal for the detection of IgM antibodies. The antigens are designed to benefit the needs of biopharmaceutical, clinical, and life science researchers, as well as manufacturers of IVD test kits, and exhibit exceptional purity levels as a result of cross-flow, ultra-filtration and centrifugation techniques.
