ademtech Protocol Information Sheet

Features

• Capture and concentrate virus from various biological samples
• Simple and fast: 30 minutes only
• Gentle virus separation method: isolates alive and infectious virus
• Viro-Adembeads improve virus culture: increase and accelerate virus production
• Higher sensitivity compare to conventional centrifugation methods
• Higher reproducibility compare to conventional centrifugation methods

Viro-Adembeads are designed for simple and rapid capture and culture of viruses. Virus bound onto Viro-Adembeads is viable and retains infectivity. Viro-Adembeads allows to improve virus infection efficiency by concentrating viruses and promoting cell-virus contact. Viro-Adembeads also facilitate commonly used viral infection protocols that are time and labor intensive. When added to a complex medium, the Viro-Adembeads will bind to the target. This interaction is based on the affinity of the polyelectrolyte layer adsorbed on the surface of the beads with virus. The resulting beads-target complex can be removed from the suspension using a magnet. The benefits of magnetic handling are easy washing, separation and concentration of the target without any need for centrifugation or columns.

Add the beads to the medium containing virus and incubate 20 minutes. Separate the beads from the medium through the use of a magnet (also available from LabOmics), wash. The beads+virus prep can be used straight to infect new cells
