Technical Information

VDL SOPs : As a service organization, we believe it will benefit you to have access the Standard Operating Procedures we use to create, expand, purify, and evaluate your vectors. An SOP for each procedure has been published on this site.

Cloning Vectors: Cloning is an essential process in the production of vectors. In the creation of some vectors, we ask that you do the initial cloning. Since we require you to do some cloning, we felt we owe it to you to give you access to the cloning plasmids that are used in the production of your vectors. We have sequence, restriction site, and map data for nearly all cloning plasmids. See our list of Cloning Vectors and download information you need to making cloning easier.

Suggested Protocols: We have also compiled Suggested Protocols for working with each of the vectors we provide. Access to these protocols will be available soon. Check back in a few weeks for these protocols.

As always, if you have any questions, you can contact us at 713-798-1238 or by e-mail at vector@bcm.tmc.edu.
