Express Lentiviral Packaging Service
SBI offers Express Lentiviral Packaging service to produce high-quality, high-titer virus particles using your lentivector construct in as little at 10 days. Save yourself the time and effort of preparing your own virus, and receive ready-to-transduce lentiviral particles from SBI - the Lentiviral Experts.* (see sample infectivity data).
All custom virus production services should come with information on the plasmids which have to be packaged.
Our Quality Virus Packagaing Service Guarantees
- Production of virus in a state-of-the art BSL-2 facility with robust quality control in accordance with NIH Biosafety Level 2 criteria
- Flexibility of virus production scales to meet your research needs
- Accurate Virus titers as determined by qPCR to measure infectious units per ml ( ifus/ml)
- Expert technical assistance provided by SBI's experienced scientific staff
You provide SBI with:
- Endotoxin-free HIV-based* lentivector plasmid DNA** (10-40 μg depending on level of titer requested)
- All custom virus production services should come with information on the plasmids which have to be packaged
- Vector must be able to produce virus (NO: internal poly A signal, toxic genes, unusual 2° structure, or 5' to 3' LTR size >8kb.)
*FIV-based lentiviral packaging service also available, Regular Titer only.
**We recommend EndoFree Plasmid Maxi Kit (cat# 12362) from Qiagen for plasmid prep.

Use SBI's packaged viruses in vivo
Ultra-High Titer (UHT) virus is optimized for in vivo applications, and is routinely used by researchers for in vivo brain injections, as well as delivery to other tissues. As published in Rayner, et al. (Science 2010; 328(5985):1570-73), SBI prepared custom UHT virus particles for microRNA-33 overexpression and knockdown, which were used to successfully study cholesterol transport in whole animal models.
