This product was formerly named Nanotrapยฎ Magnetic Virus Particles.

Nanotrapยฎ Microbiome Particles

Nanotrap Microbiome Particles rapidly concentrate microbes from many sample types, eliminating the need for filtration precipitation or centrifugation.

Large-scale wastewater surveillance can be used to help communities monitor infection dynamics for SARS-CoV-2 and other microbes of concern. Robust, high-throughput methods based on Nanotrap Microbiome Particles are enabling widespread implementation. 

  • Nanotrap particles utilize affinity capture and enrichment to attract and bind low abundance viruses.
  • Methods developed for clinical swab samples, saliva, urine, wastewater, food wash and blackwater.
  • Compatible with PCR, sequencing or immunoassay analysis methods.
  • Successfully utilized in high-complexity and point-of-care RT-PCR assays with FDA Emergency Use Authorization for COVID-19.
  • Nanotrap particles do not utilize antibodies or other biomolecules as affinity molecules, which means extended room temperature stability.

Nanotrap Productsโ€‹

Nanotrap Microbiome A Particles

The Nanotrap Microbiome A Particles have a broad affinity for a wide range of microbes and can capture and concentrate influenza A, influenza B, respiratory syncytial virus, coronavirus 229E, coronavirus OC43, SARS-CoV-2, Zika virus, Chikungunya virus, dengue virus, pepper mild mottle virus, hepatitis A virus and mpox virus.

Nanotrap Microbiome B Particles

The Nanotrap Microbiome B Particles have been demonstrated to capture and concentrate a wide range of microbes, including Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Campylobacter jejuni, Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridioides difficile and crASSphage.

Nanotrap Enhancement Reagentsโ€‹

Nanotrap Microbiome Particles rapidly capture and concentrate microbes from raw sewage requiring no filtration or centrifugation. Using Nanotrap Enhancement Reagents with the Nanotrap particles improves the binding of microbes in these samples, further improving downstream detection of nucleic acids.

Nanotrap Buffer 2

Nanotrap Buffer 2 improves microbe recovery with Ceres Nanotrap Microbiome Particles when using a manual method. Nanotrap Buffer 2 homogenizes solids, dilutes viscous samples and facilitates movement of Nanotrap Microbiome Particles between tubes.

Molecular Diagnostics (MDx) are the tests and techniques that have been developed in recent decades that analyze biological markers such as nucleic acids and proteins, to diagnose and monitor disease, detect disease risks and to monitor the effectiveness of treatments. MDx assays are used in prenatal testing, infectious disease testing, cancer and inherited diseases testing.
