Lenti-X GoStix Plus video protocols
Lenti‑X GoStix Plus are designed to quickly and accurately quantify the amount of lentivirus in your viral prep, using only 20 µl of packaging cell supernatant. Ten minutes after applying your sample, a test band will appear in the window of the GoStix cassette at an intensity that correlates with the amount of lentivirus applied. The cassette is then scanned using a smartphone camera or equivalent mobile device running the Lenti‑X GoStix App, which will then calculate a titer (i.e., GoStix Value; GV) based on the intensity of the test band relative to a control band. The app also allows you to email yourself the test results for record keeping.
