Simplifying Harvesting Virus-Like Particles using the µPULSE TFF System

About

Virus-Like Particles (VLPs) are non-infectious self-assembling protein nanostructures, making them promising candidates for vaccines and targeted drug delivery.

However, the purification of VLPs presents significant challenges due to potential structural damage impacting their functionality. Conventional purification methods, such as ultracentrifugation, precipitation, column chromatography, and dead-end filtration, are limited by low volumes, high cost, poor scalability, and slow processing.

In this webinar, we will demonstrate the use of the µPULSE-TFF system to harvest extracellular VLPs as a walk-away, single-step, gentle, and fast approach, compared to dead-end centrifugal units. The µPULSE-TFF system also offers scalability, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness, thus facilitating efficient processing of larger VLP volumes and other macromolecules.
