Infographic: Virology and Vaccine Research
Last updated: 11/2022
Overview
In the past decade, several serious outbreaks, including Ebola virus disease and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), have shown that emerging viral pathogens can spread rapidly and pose a significant threat to public health systems. Such recent events have highlighted the need for critical, effective virology and vaccine research.
Infectious disease research is an interdisciplinary field that covers a wide range of complex workflows. This includes studying host-pathogen interactions, pathogen transmission and surveillance, and identifying potential antigenic targets for vaccine development.
This infographic will explore the powerful, everyday lab tools that are helping scientists achieve more accurate and reproducible results.

Key Takeaways:
- Electronic or automated pipettes can offer more accuracy and ergonomic support during pipetting-intensive protocols.
- Smart lab balances provide accuracy, customizability, and traceability for weighing reagents, toxins or buffers.
- Ultrapure water that is free of RNase/DNase and endotoxins is essential for high-quality results.
- Robust clarification, filtration and purification solutions speed up sample prep workflows for viruses, virus-like particles (VLPs) and viral vectors made in cell culture.
