Take the Fast Lane to Success with SBI's Express Packaging Service

SBI offers Express Lentiviral Packaging service to produce high-quality, high-titer virus particles containing your construct in only 2–3 weeks turnaround time. Accelerate your research with our lentiviral technology and packaging expertise. SBI's Express Lentiviral Packaging: our viruses infect better.* (see sample infectivity data).

 

Features & Benefits

  • Obtain ready-to-transduce, packaged pseudoviral particles in 2–3 weeks
  • Delivery into a wide range of cell lines including non-dividing or difficult-to-transfect cell lines with self-inactivating and high-titer lentiviral particles
  • 3 different levels of titer available to meet your specific requirements
  • Allow us to prepare 3rd-generation biosafe lentiviral particles for you and avoid any biosafety concerns for you to package virus in your lab
  • Our scientists are world-leaders in lentiviral packaging, and routinely prepare viral concentrations >10^9 IFUs / mL
  • Ultra-high titer virus available: perfect for in-vivo and stem cell applications
  • Viral preparations are concentrated using our proprietary PEG-it formulation; no ultra-centrifugation means less toxic debris in concentrated virus
  • Titers are measured using the UltraRapid Titer Kit—real infectious titer is measured, not an envelope protein

You provide SBI with:

  • Endotoxin-free HIV-based* lentivector plasmid DNA** (10-40 μg depending on level of titer requested)
  • 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.

SBI provides you with:

  • At least six 25 μL aliquots of VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles at the specified level of titer*
  • Titer measurement based on infectious particles (through integrated copy number count**) 

    *Titer guaranteed for SBI lentivectors
  • **Vector must contain WPRE element for copy number count
