Pilot Study Kits
The Gene Vector and Virus Core, in conjunction with the Stanford Program for Integrated Neuroscience Technologies (SPrINT), is pleased to announce distribution of a series of viral vector kits optimized for rapid prototyping of new experimental systems.
Pilot study kits contain multiple small (10 ul) AAV vector aliquots, allowing investigators to quickly identify optimized experimental parameters during the earliest stages of project development.
Some GVVC pilot study kits provide multiple variants of a single viral vector, whereas other kits act as “experiments in a box”, including all of the necessary components to validate a multi-vector experimental system.
Kits contain 3 aliquots, but for kit systems with more than 3 options, additional aliquots may be added upon request.
AAV vector pilot study kits may be requested through our Stanford shared resource system website (registration required).
