ADVANTAGES OF LIPEXOGEN GENE CLONING SERVICES
- Easily establish stable cell lines
- Easily produce high-titer lentivirus capable of transducing primary and other difficult-to-transfect cells
- Easy Ordering – just tell us what you want to do, and we can usually design the most efficient shRNAs, reporter systems, etc. for you which lets you save time
- Affordable Pricing - Prices are comparable to purchasing commercially-available expression plasmids
- All of our vectors have been optimized for maximum expression in transient transfection
- All of our lentiviral vectors have been optimized to yield high virus titers and gene expression, making it easy to establish long-term, stable cell lines
- More Flexibility – Regular vectors are premade for easy customizability for tag location (N-terminal or C-terminal to the insert)
- All custom shRNAs are verified by our own fluorescence-based system that is more reliable than RT-qPCR – as a result, we guarantee at least 70% knockdown efficiency
- All cloning is sequence chromatogram confirmed, ensuring 100% accuracy
- We match competitor’s prices – if you find the same quality of service for cheaper, tell us
- We provide turnaround times that are comparable to or faster than the competition
*Starting price shown for regular vectors and insert less than 1 kb; starting price for lentiviral vectors is $795. Actual prices and turnaround will depend on several factors, including cloned fragment length and complexity, type of destination vector requested, etc. If requesting a cloned fragment >4 kb and you already have a cDNA clone, you may optionally send one to us which may reduce your turnaround time and cost. If the gene you want us to clone is only expressed in special cells or under specific conditions, (i.e. the cDNA cannot easily be obtained by general RT-PCR), you should notify us of this when placing your request. In such cases we may require that you provide freshly isolated high-quality RNA stored as an RNA pellet in isopropanol.
