Millipore announces the availability of its two Fast-Trap virus purification and concentration kits, one for adenovirus purification and one for lentivirus purification
Purifying virus after propagation in host cells is a critical step towards using the viruses as vectors for genetic modification of target cells.
The Fast-Trap virus purification and concentration kits contain all the components to accommodate the entire virus purification workflow.
The Fast-Trap kits provide results that are more reliable in substantially less time than traditional methods by incorporating Millipore's Steriflip filter unit, an easy-to-use format utilising a new anion exchange membrane that binds and elutes virus.
The vacuum-based, closed-system purification kits are quick, easy, and safe to operate with a turnaround time of less than two hours compared to two days with traditional purification techniques.
Millipore has evolved from a high performance filtration products and services company into a leading provider of tools and services and a key partner of choice for life science customers.
