Application Molecular Reagent
The CGT Viral Vector Lysis Kit is provided with reagents for 100 or 1000 reactions in two boxes for AAV vectors. The kit is suitable for the lysis of AAV2, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8 and AAV9. The lysates are optimized forQIAcuity Cell and Gene Therapy dPCR Assaysin combination with theQIAcuity Probe PCR Kit. These assays enable singleplex as well as multiplex cell and gene therapy applications, including viral titer and vector copy number measurements. The kit does not include restriction enzymes (for e.g., Hpall) that are stated in the protocol.
Optimized for Versatile Viral VectorsThis lysis kit is designed to efficiently disrupt a broad spectrum of viral vectors, such as adeno-associated virus (AAV), lentivirus, adenovirus, and more. Its advanced buffer chemistry maximizes nucleic acid yield while preserving sample quality, making it invaluable for cell and gene therapy environments.
Streamlined Workflows and Reliable ResultsSupplied with straightforward protocols and pre-formulated buffers, the kit integrates effortlessly into manual and automated sample preparation pipelines. It is optimized for high lysis efficiency, enabling consistent, high-purity nucleic acid recovery that accelerates downstream applications in research.
Robust and Safe for Research Use OnlyComposed of high-purity, single-use reagents, the kit offers robust performance and minimizes cross-contamination. Each kit comes with a unique lot number and clear storage instructions, ensuring reliable results with every use. Not intended for diagnostic procedures; suitable strictly for research purposes.
