Viral Vector production and purification with ultracentrifuges

Viral Vector ultracentrifugation workflow

High-speed centrifugation and ultracentrifugation effectively separate viral particles from cells and cellular debris, while analytical ultracentrifugation can identify and separate viral particles based on capsid density, a measure of viral cargo. This allows empty viruses and viruses which have only partially incorporated the desired genetic material to be removed prior to transduction. The ability to consistently generate abundant high-quality virus is critical for eliminating batch-to-batch variability in terms of quality and efficiency when it comes to production of the end-product.

Ultracentrifugation for Exosome isolation

Whether from liquid biopsies or conditioned media, no other step is as critical to the success of your exosome research as your choice of isolation technique. Differential ultracentrifugation has been called the “gold standard”1 method, not only because it was the first method demonstrated to reliably isolate a pure fraction of exosomes, but also because exosomes produced by differential ultracentrifugation are largely intact and thought to contain a full complement of cargo molecules.  Learn why density gradient ultracentrifugation is considered the gold standard for isolating and purifying exosomes from body fluids.
