Nanotrap Virus Capture Kit improves the performance of your downstream analytical methods (e.g., PCR, Western blot, NGS, protein assays, infectivity assays) by capturing and concentrating whole virus from complex biological samples.
- Compatible with multiple nucleic acid extraction kits.
- Reduce your false negatives by increasing your starting sample volume by more than 10-fold.
- Increase your assay sensitivity by capturing and concentrating low abundance viruses.
- 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.
- Nanotrap particles triple the nucleic acid yield as compared to QIAGEN column only.
Incorporating Nanotrap technology into your workflow is simple. No more than 4 steps added to your current workflow or just 7 steps total if you perform the capture, concentration, and extraction with the Ceres Nanosciences platform - compared to an average of 12-plus with the competition.
Nanotrap Virus Particles capture and concentrate coronavirus OC43 for improved RT-PCR detection
In this application note, Ceres Nanoscience explains how they used Nanotrap Magnetic Virus Particles to capture and concentrate CoV-OC43 virus from spiked viral transport media prior to RNA extraction. This application note highlights how Nanotrap particle processing also enables detection of CoV-OC43 in samples with concentrations at or below the limit of detection.
