Beads (superparamagnetic nanoparticles) are specifically developed to capture viruses from biological samples. Following incubation in a virus containing sample, our beads associated to viruses are recovered and can be directly used to infect target cells. Compared to conventional infection protocols, our beads drastically increase infection efficiency; this phenomenon is thought to result both from the concentration effect mediated by virus capture on beads, and from favouring cell-virus contact by beads sedimentation that increases virus concentration at the very vicinity of target cell.
