title: Virus isolation in microplates compared to standard tube method.
abstract: The efficiency of viral isolation in microplates was assayed during an epidemic outbreak of bronchiolitis and compared with the standard tube method. The agreement between the two methods was noteworthy. Although mainly dealing with isolation of RS virus, the data seem to indicate that due to its simplicity virus isolation in microplates is preferable to the standard tube method.
