    Tech Note │ An Efficient and High-Fidelity Approach to AAV Plasmid Preparation

    Preserving the integrity of inverted terminal repeat (ITR) sequences in adeno-associated virus (AAV) plasmids is important to produce recombinant AAV (rAAV) vectors. The proprietary AAV plasmid preparation service from GENEWIZ delivers superior quality for midi to giga-scale AAV vectors, while maintaining the integrity of ITR regions. Our new process includes pre- and post-preparation quality controlled (QC) steps that leverage GENEWIZ AAV-ITR Sanger sequencing capabilities for full sequence verification and ensures delivery of intact ITR clones for your research.
