Service Guide

*Based on 24-well format, 1-3×10^5 cells/well reaction size and 1:1 transfection ratio. @At least one construct in the mixture guaranteed to provide 70% or more knockdown efficiency as a standalone product. Additional constructs in the mixture are not validated, but sequence-predicted based on the same method used to generate validated constructs. Knockdown validation data not provided for shRNA mixtures.  ***Typical titer shown. Actual titers may vary depending on the size of the insert. #Starting price and turnaround shown for cloned DNA fragments less than 1.0 kb, without added sequences (such as enhancer or repressor sequences) and not having difficult secondary structure. ##Volumes and titers listed are estimates based on typical amounts. Actual amounts may vary.

Please note: Custom lentiviral particles are suitable for transduction of human or mouse cells. All products and services are for preclinical research use only and not intended for any therapeutic or diagnostic use. For more information, please see our Terms and Conditions.

Validated shRNA Lentiviral Particles

Starting price: $595

We provide high-titer custom lentiviral particles producing shRNAs for knockdown of your gene of interest in mammalian systems. We guarantee the clone you receive will have at least 70% knockdown efficiency because we validate the clones using a specific fluorescence-based reporter assay that is more reliable than standard qPCR. You don’t have to know any shRNA sequences at all to get started – simply tell us the gene accession number of the gene you want to knock down, and select one of our high-quality, new-version lentiviral vectors

Our lentiviral particles can allow for the easy establishment of stable cell lines expressing shRNA. If desired, we can provide lentiviral particles engineered to recruit shRNA to exosomes. 

After your order is confirmed, you can expect your custom lentivirus to be shipped out in about 10 business days. Knockdown validation data are also included as determined by our unique fluorescence microscopy assay.

Custom miRNA Lentivirus

Starting price: $595

We provide high-titer custom lentiviral particles for expression of the stem-loop or mature miRNA of your choice. We guarantee the clone you receive is functional for the expression of the mature miRNA you specified. Our lentiviral particles can also allow you to easily establish stable cell lines expressing miRNA and recruiting miRNA to exosomes.

Simply tell us the gene accession number of the miRNA, and select one of our high-quality, new-version lentiviral vectors. After your order is confirmed, you can expect your custom lentivirus to be shipped out in about 10 business days.

Custom cDNA ORF Lentivirus

Starting price: $595

We provide high-titer custom lentiviral particles for expression of your specified ORF cDNA fragment. We guarantee the clone you receive is functional for the expression of the cDNA you specified. 

We have created lentiviral vectors that express large size ORFs (3-6 kb) and generate much higher viral titers than currently used lentiviral vectors.

If you can send us the cDNA plasmid, the price will be comparable to our regular listed ORF cDNA lentiviruses.

Simply tell us the gene accession number of the ORF cDNA fragment, and select one of our high-quality, new-version lentiviral vectors. After your order is confirmed, you can expect your custom lentivirus to be shipped out in about 10 business days.

Custom LentiCRISPR sgRNA Lentivirus

Starting price: $695

This is a fast and easy service which allows you to obtain high titer lentiviral particles customizable for CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of your gene of interest. 

We’ll make two sgRNA sequences flanking the target site and clone them each to our all in one Cas9 sgRNA vector. Then, we’ll package the lentiviral particles using a mixture of the two vectors, in order to enhance the knockout efficiency. The titer of lentivirus is about 1×10^9 lentiviral particles in 500 μl, and a total TU of about 1×10^6.

To begin, just enter the gene accession number for the gene you want to knock-out.

After your order is confirmed, you can expect your custom lentivirus to be shipped out in about 10 business days. 

Custom TF Reporter Lentivirus

Starting price: $595

Take your gene regulation research to a new level with custom high titer lentiviral particles for mammalian expression of a fluorescent/bioluminescent reporter system responsive to your transcription factor (TF) of interest. We guarantee a functional reporter construct that is responsive to your TF of interest. Simply tell us the gene accession number for the TF, select one of our high-quality new-version lentiviral vectors and, if known, provide sequences of the TF response elements or the short DNA range or DNA elements the TF binds to. 

After your order is confirmed, you can expect your custom lentivirus to be shipped out in about 10 business days. As a part of our quality control process, we’ll also provide fluorescence microscopy images demonstrating the reporter activity.

Custom Gene Promoter Lentivirus

Starting price: $595*

Take your gene regulation research to a new level with custom lentiviral particles for mammalian expression of a fluorescent/bioluminescent reporter system driven by the human or mouse proximal promoter of your choice. This service also lets you add enhancer/repressor sequences to the proximal promoter if desired. 

Simply tell us the gene accession number for the gene controlled by the promoter you wish to clone, the sequence of the promoter DNA fragment, any details if adding additional regulatory elements, and select one of our high-quality new-version lentiviral vectors. After placing your order, you can expect to receive your custom lentiviral particles in as fast as 10 business days.
