With over 20 years' experience in virology, Integral Molecular has developed innovative solutions that enable researchers to study viruses safely and efficiently. These solutions include Reporter Virus Particles (RVPs), pseudoviruses, virus-like particles (VLPs), and Influenza TiterSafe^TM VLPs for hemagglutination assays. These virus-like reagents cannot replicate and are incapable of causing infectious disease, enabling the study of even the most pathogenic viruses in a standard laboratory environment.

Integral Molecular's Neutralization Assay Services enable diverse applications:

Neutralization profiling for antibodies targeting viral proteins. Studies employ RVPs including coronaviruses (SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV), influenza, Zika, dengue, yellow fever, or custom reporter viruses. RVPs are produced using ISO 9001 certified processes that enable generation of reproducible, reliable data.
Neutralization experiments can be conducted for monoclonal antibodies or preclinical sera using the company's catalog of 100+ reporter viruses or custom variants with specified mutations.
Antibody cocktail screening to test neutralization with antibody combinations.

"Our virus research tools have been instrumental in laboratories worldwide, providing safe alternatives to live viruses," said Maya Cabot, PhD, Senior Product Manager at Integral Molecular. "Given the limited access to dedicated containment facilities for manipulating pathogenic materials, our Neutralization Assay Services provide vital support to diverse researchers, especially benefiting smaller companies with limited laboratory infrastructure."

Integral Molecular's virology research tools have been adopted by over 100 laboratories worldwide and featured in over 250 publications.
