Downstream Applications

Seamless Integration for Enhanced Analysis: From Sample to Insight

Whether studying diverse microbiomes in relation to climate changes, searching for endangered species in marine environments, or for investigating organisms for drug discovery. InnovaPrep products can help improve the sensitivity of your analytical methods and increase the probability of discovering new insights. 


Using InnovaPrep’s unique technology, based on Wet Foam Elution, provides a gentle buffer exchanges and exponential concentration of biological and other particles. The resulting concentrated and small liquid sample volume (microliters) that is ready for direct use in a variety of downstream applications.  


InnovaPrep’s Wet Foam Elution process is gentle, leaving cells and cellular components intact for studies requiring viability, infectivity and intact cellular components.  With several Elution Buffers to choose from, you will be able to select the optimal buffer for your application.

what sets us apart

multi-target concentration

Capture multiple target organisms from large volumes. 

detection system agnostic

Elution buffers are highly compatible with any downstream method from culture to molecular and viability studies. 

 streamlined workflows

Simple workflow with consistent, reliable results. 

Innovaprep ultrafiltration (following solids removal) had the highest sequencing sensitivity and richness, resulting in the successful assembly of most near-complete human virus genomes.
