Boost your lentiviral transduction efficiency with dissolvable microfluidics
Try a free sample of the Lenti-X transduction sponges
Maximize virus-cell contact using a simplifed workflow
Use the Lenti-X Transduction Sponge or the Lenti-X T-cell Transduction Sponge to achieve microfluidics-driven gains in transduction efficiency without the use of expensive instrumentation. Each sponge is a dissolvable, non-toxic, alginate-based cake that fits inside one well of your 24-well cell culture plate. Its macroporous structure creates a microfluidic system that increases virus-cell contact.
Lenti-X Transduction Sponge
- Achieve high transduction efficiency with cell and virus colocalization
- Eliminate time-consuming spinoculation and harsh chemical transduction enhancers from your workflow
- Transduce a broad range of cell concentrations (105–107 cells per sponge) and a wide variety of cell types, including cell lines and difficult-to-transduce primary cells
Easy‑to‑use workflow that reduces cell handling
Lenti-X T-Cell Transduction Sponge
The Lenti-X T-Cell Transduction Sponge (T-cell sponge) is a variation of the sponge that is infused with an optimized blend of anti-human CD3 and CD28 antibodies and recombinant human IL-2.
Use the T-cell sponge to: .
- Streamline your T-cell transduction workflow by combining T-cell activation and high-efficiency transduction into a single step
- Expedite transduction of isolated T cells or PBMCs
- Transduce 2 x 106–107 cells in the volume required for only one well of a 24‑well plate
Streamline T-cell activation and lentiviral transduction in a single step
