FAQ: Lentivirus Concentration and Purification Kit (Column-Based)

Q: How does this kit work?

A: Our ViraBind™ Lentivirus Concentration and Purification Kit (Column-based) uses a polymer technology that can concentrate the virus up to 500-fold with at least 60% recovery.  Two chemical polymers are used that form a complex with virus at 37ºC.  The complex is pelleted down after a brief spin, dissolved, and then the virus and polymers are separated using a gel filtration column.
