AAV Serotyping Kit

The Importance of AAV Serotyping

Each AAV serotype exhibits unique characteristics, including tissue tropism and transduction efficiency, making serotype selection a critical factor in the success of gene delivery. When handling a new cell type or tissue where the optimal serotype is unknown, serotyping kits provide a solution, allowing you to test each serotype's transduction efficiency before starting your experiment.

OriGene offers AAV serotyping kits that enable researchers to select the most appropriate serotype for their specific research or therapeutic applications.
