WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The nature of the cell culture system is one that is inherently variable and thus remains susceptible to numerous adverse conditions that can lead to unreliable results. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI, formerly NCCLS) has recently published Viral Culture; Approved Guideline (M41-A), which provides recommendations for optimizing culture results. This document provides guidance for viral culture and identification procedures that are typically performed in the clinical virology laboratory setting using commercially available reagents and monolayered cell cultures.
