Quality control options
At InvivoGen, we ensure every custom plasmid meets the highest standards of quality and consistency through a comprehensive suite of quality control measures:
- Full-Length Sequencing - Complete plasmid verification using third-generation sequencing.
- Restriction Enzyme Digestion Analysis - Verification of key restriction sites via enzymatic digestion.
- Plasmid Integrity Assessment - Gel electrophoresis analysis confirming plasmid homogeneity (> 80% supercoiled).
- Purity Checks - Assessment of DNA purity using A260/280 and A260/230 absorbance ratios.
- Mycoplasma Testing (Optional) - Optional mycoplasma contamination testing is also available.
- Endotoxin Testing (Optional) - Our Gigaprep service uses an Endofree® kit to ensure minimal endotoxin levels. For sensitive applications, optional endotoxin quantification using the LAL assay.
