Products
Plasmid sets for single-, dual- and triple-plasmid production workflows
Transfer and helper plasmid sets formatted for single-, dual- and triple-plasmid AAV production workflows and for capsid/library construction.
Premade AAV viral vectors (multiple serotypes, promoters, reporters)
Ready-to-use AAV vectors supplied in multiple serotypes with defined genomes and characterized titers and QC for gene delivery in vitro and in vivo.
AAV reference materials (full, truly-empty, byproduct-empty)
Standardized AAV reference materials for assay calibration and QC, including fully packaged genomes, truly-empty capsids and byproduct-empty particles with documented characterization.
Capsid testing kits and barcode kits
Kits to enable capsid-barcode testing and pooled serotype/variant evaluation to support empirical selection using barcode sequencing and NGS.
Premade high-complexity capsid libraries
Ready-to-use capsid libraries with random peptide insertions at selected capsid variable regions, provided in multiple serotypes and library sizes for directed evolution.
Live-cell cAMP biosensor GPCR assay kits
Assay kits based on live-cell cAMP biosensors for rapid high-throughput functional screening of GPCRs.
