Understand What You're Recovering, Where It's Coming From, and What Happens Next
Effective sample recovery begins with three fundamental questions:
What are you trying to recover?
What matrix is it in?
What does the recovered sample need to be ready for?
These factors influence how a sample can be collected, recovered, prepared, and concentrated—and which characteristics of the target-bearing fraction need to be preserved.
Explore InnovaPrep's Recovery Knowledge by Target, Matrix, or Downstream Method.
Different targets have different physical and biological characteristics that can influence collection, retention, recovery, concentration, and downstream compatibility.
Explore recovery considerations for bacteria, viruses, fungi, spores, cells, nucleic acids, extracellular vesicles, particles, and other targets.
The surrounding matrix can strongly influence target accessibility, processability, recovery, and downstream performance.
Explore considerations across water, wastewater, air and aerosols, surfaces, food and beverage, biological fluids, environmental samples, industrial fluids, and other complex matrices.
Sample recovery should be designed with the downstream method in mind. Requirements can differ depending on whether the recovered target will be analyzed by molecular methods, sequencing, culture, microscopy, flow cytometry, mass spectrometry, or another analytical approach.
Explore how downstream requirements can influence sample recovery and preparation decisions.
For sample-specific guidance, explore Workflow Development, where InnovaPrep applies these considerations through the 4C Workflow Framework™ and application-specific workflows.
InnovaPrep technologies and sample recovery approaches have been used across a broad range of targets, matrices, analytical methods, and research applications.
Explore the scientific literature, research highlights, application studies, and supporting evidence.
If you're working with an unusual target, difficult matrix, emerging analytical method, or sample that doesn't fit an established workflow, InnovaPrep can help you think through the recovery requirements.
Explore research highlights, scientific evidence, and application studies that demonstrate sample recovery and preparation across a range of targets and matrices.
