Nanotrap-Aaron Bivens

“With the Nanotrap particles I can now concentrate, extract, and test a week’s worth of wastewater samples from our program in a single day. This is critical to inform public health decision-making in a timely manner.”

Aaron Bivins, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering
at Louisiana State University

Nanotrap-Merle Bot

“The workflow is very easy and the fact that this can be incorporated in an automated workflow makes it even better. I know that if there is virus in a sample, the Nanotrap particles will capture it. Other techniques are more labor intensive and far less reliable. When we have very dirty samples, I know this won’t be a problem for the Nanotrap technology. With our previous methods those sample types would fail, and I didn’t know if I could trust the data. Since we started using the Nanotrap particles, I fully trust my data.”

Merel Bot, Lab Manager/Staff Research Associate III at UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics

Nanotrap-Jessica Alfoldi

“Ceres Nanosciences has been a great partner for Biobot – both in assay development and implementation in production. With Nanotrap particles, I know that my assays can scale for national-level programs.”

Jessica Alfoldi, Ph.D., Vice President of Research and Development at Biobot Analytics

Nanotrap Products​

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 Reagents​

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.
