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

Preserving the integrity of inverted terminal repeat (ITR) sequences in adeno-associated virus (AAV) plasmids is important to produce recombinant AAV (rAAV) vectors. Azenta’s proprietary AAV plasmid preparation service 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 Azenta's AAV-ITR Sanger sequencing capabilities for full sequence verification and ensures delivery of intact ITR clones for your research.

AAV ITR Sequencing Tech Note

Azenta has developed a high-quality, direct Sanger sequencing method that reads through both intact and commonly mutated inverted terminal repeat (ITR) regions of adeno-associated virus (AAV). This method is an effective tool for assessing the integrity of ITRs in AAV plasmids.
