Facility Details

The Virus Characterization, Isolation, Production and
Sequencing Core (VCIPS) core is divided into two primary components: 1) virus characterization, isolation, and production and 2) next generation sequencing. The Virus Characterization, Isolation and Production component provides virus expansion
and characterization, viral titer by plaque and TCID50 assays, live virus neutralization and inhibition assays at both BSL-2 and -3 (including SARS-CoV-2). The Next Generation Sequencing component provides expertise in next generation sequencing and
timely genomic services including whole genome, epigenetics, targeted amplicons, and 16S metagenomics.
