AAV Standard Material Benefits
Industry-established standards:
Containing the most commonly used and well-known combination of an eGFP transgene with a CMV promoter.
Comprehensive characterization:
Provided with a precisely determined genome and capsid titer as well as an accurate full/empty ratio allowing precise and consistent characterization of your final product. Our full capsid standard materials all have a filling grade of >70%.
Flexible use for a variety of applications:
High virus titers > 1.0E+12 vg/ml and liquid formulation (PBS with 0.014% Tween, 1 mM MgCl2 and 2.5 mM KCl) allow full capsids to be used as a reference material in a variety of applications.

AAV Standard Material FAQs
High virus titers > 1.0E+12 vg/ml and liquid formulation (PBS with 0.014% Tween, 1 mM MgCl2 and 2.5 mM KCl) allow the use as a reference material in a variety of applications e.g. PCR, BLI, SEC-MALS, mass photometry, infectivity and many more.
The AAV capsids titer is measured by our PROGEN ELISAs and the genomic titer is measured by qPCR using eGFP primers.
