Ceva at Researchers' Night

This year, Ceva Phylaxia joins one of the country's most popular public science events, Researchers' Night, co-organized with the University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest. The company welcomes visitors interested in science and innovation with exciting, interactive presentations and hands-on demonstrations, offering a rare glimpse into its world-class research and development activities.

What programs can visitors explore?

Viral Antigen Production: From Flasks to Industrial Scale 

This presentation explores the engineering and biological challenges of scale-up, guiding attendees through the monumental world of fermenters and bioreactors.

Be a Ceva Researcher – Step into the Lab! 

Visitors can get an up-close look at everyday laboratory operations: stepping behind the scenes, participants can experience firsthand what it is like to experiment and conduct investigations as a research scientist.

Shell Game: Spotting an Unexpected Virus in the Sample 

An insider look into the practical world of viral diagnostics: discover how animal pathogens are cultured and identified in the laboratory, and what steps are taken when an entirely unexpected virus turns up in a sample.

The History of Ceva Phylaxia and Domestic Vaccine Production 

How did an early production site evolve into an internationally recognized animal health hub with a legacy spanning over 110 years? A presentation on traditions, major milestones, and future innovations.

Emulsion Preparation and Mixing Viscous Materials 

The stability of oil-in-water emulsions is tested through mayonnaise making and centrifugation, while food colorings and specialized impeller designs showcase the fascinating blending of water and dense gels.

Lyophilized "Sugar Cakes" and Magnetic Stirrers 

How are active vaccine ingredients preserved for years using freeze-drying, and why does the final product resemble a small sugar cake? An engaging overview of the lyophilization process and the craft of stabilization.

Under the Magnifying Glass: What the Microscope Reveals 

Looking at the edge of the visible world: participants can explore cells and tissue structures through light microscopes, accompanied by insights from Ceva's experts.

Beyond What the Microscope Can See: Molecular Techniques in the Lab 

When standard optics reach their limits: this program demonstrates DNA- and RNA-based diagnostics, PCR testing, and the advanced molecular biology workflows that form the cornerstone of modern research.
