The method is for quantitative measurement of particle content using hydrated state imaging such as CryoTEM. A sample of virus-like particles (VLPs) or virus particles is provided. Preferably, the sample is rapidly frozen into a cryogenic liquid at a cryogenic temperature. While at the cryogenic temperature, the particle content of each VLP in the frozen sample is observed in the CryoTEM. An amount of the particle content of the VLPs is determined to assess whether the VLPs are empty or not.

Method of quantitative measurement of particle content using hydrated state imaging

The method is for quantification of sub-visible particles. A filter membrane is provided that has a plurality of pores defined therethrough. The pores are sealed with a sealant such as glycine or poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA). A sample droplet, containing liquid and sub-visible particles, is applied onto the filter membrane. The liquid dissolves the sealant in pores disposed directly below the sample droplet. The liquid flows through the pores in which the sealant has been dissolved and the sub-visible particles remain on top of the filter membrane. The particles are enumerated in an electron microscope.

High precision quantification of sub-visible particles

The method is for quantification of sub-visible particles. A filter membrane is provided that has a plurality of pores defined therethrough. The filter membrane is in operational engagement with a vacuum chamber. The pores are sealed with a sealant. A sample droplet, containing a liquid and sub-visible particles, is applied onto the filter membrane. The liquid dissolves the sealant in pores disposed directly below the sample droplet. The liquid flows through the pores in which the sealant has been dissolved and the sub-visible particles remain on top of the filter membrane. The particles are enumerated in an electron microscope.
