Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is a powerful analytical technique used to directly visualize viruses and contaminants at the nanometer scale. Our TEM platform utilizes validated virus detection methods tailored to a wide range of sample types, offering comprehensive testing services across all stages of cell banking, unpurified bulk harvests, E. coli bank, and more.

In biopharmaceutical development and manufacturing, retroviruses present in cell banks pose potential contamination risks that directly impact final product safety. Transmission electron microscopy using ultrathin sectioning is recognized as one of the "gold standard" methods for detecting retroviruses in cell banks.
Leveraging TEM's exceptional resolution, we directly visualize viral morphology, size, envelope structure, and budding characteristics.
