Virology Reference Strains

Virology is the study of viruses and virus-like agents, including their taxonomy, disease-producing properties, cultivation and genetics. In recent years, virology has become one of the most important disciplines of microbiology for both analytical and pharmaceutical studies.

LGC Standards help to underpin research processes by providing a range of virology reference strains that are authenticated and validated to the highest possible standard - ensuring that conclusions can be relied on with complete confidence. Our virology reference strains portfolio includes influenza, coronavirus, Zika, and inactivated strains.
