NeuroTools

* The NeuroTools Vector Core provides full circle support for the use of viral vectors for neuroscience applications. We are currently offering AAV, rabies, lenti, and HSV vector production.

* All viral vectors are produced using protocols optimized for the titer and purity requirements unique to applications within the nervous system (peripheral or central).

* We allow investigators to request the specific payload, capsid/envelope, titer, and purity necessary for their specific experiment with end volumes relevant for neuroscience applications (5ul aliquot, 100ul or 500ul end volume)and affordable pricing.

* We offer stock preps for screening optimal capsid choice and for commonly used rabies and HSV vectors. NeuroTools can also assist in viral vector design and vector performance trouble-shooting.

* We also serve as a single-source of validated vector preps to test new tools (sensors, opsins).

* We leverage our experience with viral vectors across the neuroscience community.

* Viral vectors may be used to mark, map, and manipulate neuronal populations and circuits.

* Mouse

* Rat

* Non-human primate

* Zebrafish

* Salamander

* Frog

* Custom payload and capsid/envelope choices

* Request specific titer and/or purity levels

* Small end volumes

* Affordable

* Fast turn-around times

* Different viral vectors have different strengths and weaknesses. If you are unsure which vector best suites your needs, we are happy to assist.

* We prefer not to make preps with end volumes larger than 500ul. Our hard limit is 1ml.

* We do not maintain a large inventory of commonly used stock AAV preps as we specialize in custom vector production.
