Virus Purification Kits

Virus purification kits are designed to separate whole viruses or viral components such as nucleic acids or proteins. Viruses, such as lentivirus and retrovirus, are used for the transduction of many cell types, while adenoviruses are often used for gene, miRNA, and siRNA delivery. Specialized kits for the purification of viral nucleic acids or proteins for downstream applications such as PCR are available. Techniques such as chromatography, nanofiltration, or ultracentrifugation are used for this purpose, employing size exclusion or selective retention by ligands. The size of the virus, presence of a viral envelope, and reactivity are some considerations in determining the most suitable virus purification kit. Visit the kit supplier for more details.
