The Mag4C kits are designed for magnetic virus concentration. These kits are specifically developed for capturing, concentrating and storing adenoviruses or lentiviruses and retroviruses. Each kit includes 3 reagents optimized for Magnetic Capture/Concentration, Elution or Conservation of viruses. Mag4C magnetic nanoparticles capture viruses by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions in culture media with 80-99% efficiency. Once captured onto magnetic beads, viruses can be:
- Concentrated and stored with the Conservation Buffer
- Concentrated and eluted from the magnetic beads with the Elution Buffer followed by storage with the Conservation Buffer, or used for other assays.
The Mag4C kits must be used with a Magnetic Separation Rack, which can be purchased separately or in combination with the Mag4C kit.
