We’ve said it enough times; the plaque-assay is the ‘gold standard’ for determining virus infectivity. But this doesn’t make the...

We want to talk about how to grow cells over the holiday period spanning Christmas and New Year. (OK, so we have covered this before but...

While OET Ltd has built its reputation on baculovirus-insect cell expression systems, we also undertake work that requires growing...

In our previous blog we talked about the early stages of growing insect cells when you might just have revived a frozen stock and set up...

With Autumn, or Fall as some of you may call it, upon us everyone seems to back in action in the lab again and hopefully growing insect...

A frequent customer query concerns baculovirus transfer vector plasmid compatibility with either flashBACTM or other systems for making...

Every so often we are asked if storing insect cells at -80°C is a viable option if you haven’t got access to liquid nitrogen cryogenic...

An important factor in baculovirus expression is assessing when to passage Sf9 cells, which are commonly used to make recombinant viruses...

The transition to suspension Sf9 cells from monolayer cultures is not difficult but does depend on harvesting the attached cells at the...

The process of reviving cells from liquid nitrogen, or indeed from transport on dry ice, can be a little difficult on occasion. Two...

November marks the welcome of OET’s newest product – the pOET8 baculovirus transfer vectors (pOET8.VE1; pOET8.VE2; pOET8.VE3). ...

A question that comes up from time to time is the use of co-infection with baculovirus vectors for multiple protein expression in insect...

A question we are asked from time to time is to identify baculovirus transfer vectors compatible with our flashBAC™ system. We obviously...

Variable expression of multi-component protein complexes is increasingly necessary as more sophisticated projects are attempted. But how...
