Avian Antigens

AVS Bio offers a comprehensive portfolio of antigen reagents, which are available in liquid and lyophilized aliquots for most common poultry pathogens.

Biological preparations of common poultry pathogens prepared in SPF premium plus eggs, cell cultures, or artificial media are available in a variety of forms, such as tissue homogenates, concentrates and allantoic fluid. All reagents are tested for potency, verified for specificity, and can be used for applications such as agar gel immunodiffusion (AGP/AGID), hemagglutination inhibition (HI), virus neutralization (VN), serum neutralization (SN), and many other applications.

Lyophilized antigens are stable during shipment and should be stored at -20 °C upon receipt. Please ask our Customer Service representatives about storage temperatures for liquid antigens. Some products require dry ice for shipping and additional charges may apply. Antigens are sold in 1 ml aliquots. Liquid product available in the USA only.
