Mag4C-LV Kit -for Magnetic Virus Concentration

Mag4C-LV is designed for magnetic virus concentration. This kit is specifically developed for capturing, concentrating and storing lentiviruses and retroviruses. This kit is composed of 3 reagents allowing Magnetic Capture/Concentration, Elution and Conservation of Lentiviruses and Retroviruses.
A Multipurpose Magnetic Separation Rack for 50, 15 or 1.5 mL tubes is also proposed. It can hold 12 standard microtubes, two 15 mL and two 50 mL tubes.
Mag4C-LV magnetic nanoparticles capture viruses in culture media with 80-99 % efficiency. Once captured onto magnetic beads, viruses can be:
Concentrated and stored with the Storage Buffer or directly used for downstream assay.
Concentrated, eluted from the magnetic beads with the Elution Buffer and stored with the Storage Buffer or used for subsequent assays.

The Conservation Buffer has been expressly designed to improve the stability of lentiviruses upon storage conditions and is fully compatible with the magnetic nanoparticles.


Mag4C-LV Kit presents unique properties:

Simple, Rapid & Ready-to-use

Concentration of lentiviruses by magnetic capture in 30-45 minutes

High yield of viral capture and recovery

No need to process magnetic beads before capture

Avoid ultracentrifugation, precipitation and chemicals. Reduced handling steps of viruses

Suitable for all conditions & viruses

Improve virus stability under storage conditions

Ideal for cell culture infection (Magnetofection™ advantages)
