Most common Viral Vectors

Automated and modular single-use technology solutions bring a variety of advantages viral vector manufacturing processes, such as a high level of safety and cost and resource efficiencies. The most common viral vectors our products are used for are:

  • AVVs – adenoviral vectors, i.e. vectors based on adenoviruses
  • AAVs – adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV vectors)
  • LVVs – lentiviral vectors, i.e. vectors based on lentiviruses
  • RVVs – retroviral vectors, i.e. vectors based on retroviruses
