IsoBlock® Webinar

Virus Retention Mechanism of IsoBlock® VF and its Dependence on Surface Chemistry

TeraPore's IsoBlock® Virus Filter contains an isoporous membrane made by the self-assembly of a self-assembled block copolymer. Join us for a deep dive into the virus retention mechanisms of ISV membranes & its dependence on the membrane surface chemistry.

In this webinar, we explore the extent to which similar hydrophobic forces may contribute to viral interactions with the membrane. To this end, we report the changes in viral retention of TeraPore’s experimental self-assembled block copolymer membranes that were surface modified to adjust hydrophobicity.

Understanding the interaction between viruses and membrane allows us to design filters with better performance in a broad range of applications and provides evidence of the primary mechanism of viral clearance when using IsoBlock VF. In fact, IsoBlock VF was engineered to address the challenges of parvovirus filtration by providing broad compatibility and predictable performance in a gamma irradiated, easy-to-use format.
