●Nanotrap Microbiome Particles

Nanotrap® Microbiome Particles are used to capture and concentrate microbes from samples, helping improve the sensitivity of microbial detection. Official product information notes their use across sample types such as wastewater, blackwater, sludge, airplane lavatory fluid, and surface waters.

●NEAT Liquid Biopsy Kits

The Nanotrap® Extraction Advanced Technology (NEAT) Liquid Biopsy Kit uses Nanotrap hydrogel particle technology to capture and concentrate cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from plasma samples while reducing genomic DNA contamination. It is designed to generate cleaner, more concentrated cfDNA suitable for qPCR, dPCR, ddPCR, and sequencing workflows. 

●Nanotrap Protein Enrichment Affinity Kits

These kits use Nanotrap magnetic hydrogel particles to capture and concentrate low-abundance, low-molecular-weight proteins and peptides. Official product information shows they are available for workflows such as plasma and cerebrospinal fluid protein enrichment. 

●Nanotrap Extracellular Vesicle Particles

This product line is designed to capture, irreversibly bind, and concentrate extracellular vesicles prior to downstream analysis. Official product information states that both magnetic and non-magnetic versions are available and that no precipitation reagents or protease treatments are required. 

●Nanotrap Enhancement Reagents

Nanotrap® Enhancement Reagents are used together with Nanotrap Microbiome Particles to further improve microbial binding and enhance downstream nucleic acid detection. Official product information specifically highlights their use for rapid concentration of microbes from raw sewage without filtration or centrifugation. 

●Buffer Products

The Nanotrap® buffer series supports optimized sample processing workflows. Official information states that Nanotrap® Buffer 2 improves manual handling of aqueous samples by reducing particle adhesion to sample tubes, while Nanotrap® Buffer 3 supports efficient lysis of target microbes when used with third-party extraction kits.
