Fast Trap Workflow Comparison
Fast-Trap Advantages
- Saves time: protocol can be completed in as little as two hours
- Higher yield: recover up to 70% of viral particles
- Dependable: simple protocol ensures quality results
- Easy: Steriflip filters eliminate messy purification steps and expensive equipment
- Safe: close vacuum device eliminate potential spills
Faster
In one experiment, we tested Millipore’s Fast-Trap kit with other common methods to determine which methods gave the best recoveries in the least time. The Fast-Trap Kit was faster than the other methods while giving similar recovery.
| Kit | Format | Total Processing Time | Comments |
| Millipore Fast-Trap Kit | Vacuum | 21 min | Millipore Fast-Trap Virus Purification and Concentration Kits are fast, safe, easy and dependable |
| S | Syringe filter | 40 min | Flow rate difficult to control, left with “messy” impression due to occasional drop of liquid when changing syringe filters |
| V | Centrifugal | 1 h 20 min (40 min if no clogging) | Clarification device clogged |
| Traditional CsCI | CsCI Density Gradient | Approx. 48 hrs | Labor intensive and requires specialized laboratory equipment |
Higher Recovery
The Fast-Trap kits, when compared with traditional cesium chloride and sucrose gradient purification methods, in one experiment, demonstrate a significant increase in viral recovery.
| Fast-Trap Adenovirus Purification and Concentration kit | Traditional Virus Purification | |
| % Adenovirus Recovery | 70 | 45 |
| Fast-Trap Lentivirus Purification and Concentration kit | Sucrose Gradient Ultracentrifugation | |
| % Lentivirus Recovery | 51 | 22 |
