Product news

A new range of expression ready lentiviral particles from AMSBIO allow easy gene delivery into hard to transfect cells including primary cells, non-dividing cells and cells in suspension. The particles are supplied ready-to-use eliminating the need for any lipids or transfection reagents.

The range of pre-made lentiviral particles are proven to deliver genes in a highly reproducible and controllable manner for the expression of greater than 250 human proteins, mouse proteins, enzymes and fluorescent markers. Using proprietary protocols based upon co-expressed red fluorescent protein by a 2A peptide processing (SureTiter™) or RSV promoter (Inducible system) - AMSBIO lentiviral particles enable real-time monitoring of protein expression.

Applications that will benefit from lentiviral particles include gene delivery for expression or knock-down in hard-to-transfect cell types such as primary cells, stem cells, drug-arrested cells and cells in suspension. AMSBIO lentiviral particles can also be used to easily and cost effectively create stable cell lines for long-term high constitutive or Tet inducible expression applications in the presence of TetR (a repressor protein). Further, AMSBIO lentiviral particles can also be used in-vivo for the generation of transgenic animals and for inducing pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Custom lentiviral particles for the expression of your own gene of interest or shRNA can also be generated.

All AMSBIO lentiviral products are easy and safe to use, simply add the high titre particles (1 x 107 IFU/ml or higher) to cultured cells, and you will be able to confirm the specific target's expression under a fluorescent microscope after 48-72 hours. AMSBIO lentiviral particles are packaged in culture medium with 10% FBS, in serum-free medium or concentrated in PBS for in vivo use.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Protein PurificationProtein purification is a vital step in drug discovery, therapeutics, biotech and life science research. The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.
