Production of non-enveloped viruses generally requires a cell lysis procedure to liberate mature particles trapped within their host cells. The standard bench-scale practice of using freeze/thaw cycles is simple and effective, but heat transfer limitations restrict the technique to relatively small applications. Here we show that a ten-minute treatment with a dilute mixture of polysorbate-80 and tri-butyl phosphate effectively liberates adenovirus from host cells…
