Information for AAV9 (Catalog # 45186-AAV9)

Purpose

Ready-to-use AAV9 particles produced from AAV-EF1a-BbChT (#45186). In addition to the viral particles, you will also receive purified AAV-EF1a-BbChT plasmid DNA.

Brainbow construct encoding mCherry and mTFP, both in reverse orientation between mutant Lox sites. These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.

Delivery

• Volume: 100 µL
• Titer: ≥ 1×10¹³ vg/mL
• Pricing: $375 USD for preparation of 100 µL virus + $30 USD for plasmid.
• Storage: Store at -80℃. Thaw just before use and keep on ice.
• Shipment: Viral particles are shipped frozen on dry ice. Plasmid DNA (≥ 200ng) will also be included in the shipment.

Viral Production & Use

• Packaging Plasmids: encode adenoviral helper sequences and AAV rep gene, AAV9 cap gene

Viral Quality Control

Quality Control:

• Addgene ensures high quality viral vectors by optimizing and standardizing production protocols and performing rigorous quality control (QC) (see a list of our QC assays). The specific QC assays performed varies for each viral lot. To learn which specific QC assays were performed on your lot, please contact us.
• Titer: the exact titer of your sample will be reported on the tube. The titer you see listed on this page is the guaranteed minimum titer. See how titers are measured.
