Virus Capture Kits
Get more from your samples and get it faster. Knowing a virus is present in a sample and not being able to detect it is frustrating. Use Nanotrap® Magnetic Virus Particles to concentrate viruses rapidly from complex biological matrices in order to have high quality input material for your downstream analytical methods.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
-
Nanotrap® Magnetic Virus Particles capture and concentrate the following respiratory viruses: influenza A H1N1 (1), Influenza A H3N2 (1), influenza B (1), respiratory syncytial virus A2001/3-12 strain (1), coronavirus strain 229E (1), coronavirus strain OC43 (2), and SARS-CoV-2 (3)(4).
-
Methods developed for clinical swab samples, saliva, and wastewater. (3)(4)(5)(7)(8)
-
Reduce clinical sample processing time by 2- to 3-fold by eliminating commercial extraction kit.
-
Enables an automated method for concentrating and processing virus from 24 wastewater samples in 40 minutes, reducing processing time by at least 20-fold, as compared to other methods. (8)
-
Enables pooled patient sample testing with methods developed for sample volumes up to 10 mL. (4)(6)
-
Eliminate false negatives. Nanotrap particles enabled the identification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in 9 out of 32 diagnostic remnant samples that had previously tested negative for the virus. (4)
-
Increase assay sensitivity by capturing and concentrating low abundance viruses. Nanotrap particles improved the real-time RT-PCR signal in low viral load diagnostic remnant samples by an average of 3.1 Ct values. (4)
-
Successfully utilized in RT-PCR assays with FDA Emergency Used Authorization for COVID-19. (9)
-
Nanotrap® particles utilize affinity capture and enrichment to attract and bind low abundance viruses. Nanotrap® particles do not utilize antibodies or other biomolecules as affinity molecules.
