I used their lentiviruses to build a stable cell line with a dual inducible system, and everything worked great. Despite the fact that we are in Chile (South America), VB delivered all the requested materials (lentiviral particles, E. coli colonies and plasmids) successfully and without any delay. They also included lentiviral particles as positive controls in the shipment free of charge. In short, VB can provide you with high quality materials with fast delivery.

I have been working with VectorBuilder from the beginning of my postdoc. I’ve chosen VectorBuilder because of the online platform to create customized vectors. It is really impressive how easy is to digitally clone and the order process. Specifically, in our paper, we’ve used VectorBuilder for several critical experiments, including the downregulation of Bassoon protein (AAV-shRNA) and to study the role of Bassoon in the propagation of tau (AAV-GFP-P2A-hTau). These experiments were extremely important to probe our hypothesis.

Vectorbuilder is timely, communicative, easy to work with, and—most importantly—skilled at producing very high-quality viruses. We have found that the optimal multiplicity of infection for gene-editing experiments using an AAV6 donor supplied by VectorBuilder is lower than other published reports, suggesting that the provided virus is consistently of very high potency. Knowing this saves money and time.

Amazing experience cooperating with VectorBuilder! As one of the most popular technologies, mRNA vaccine technology has been used extensively to develop therapeutics and vaccines targeting various infectious and non-infectious diseases. Recently, Daniel Meng’s R&D team at VectorBuilder rapidly established the IVT mRNA CRO platform, and we closely collaborated on developing mRNA-based HIV and influenza vaccines. I am so impressed by their scientific vision as well as their problem solving capabilities. Once again, VectorBuilder is trustworthy.

It has been a great experience working with VB. I was one of the first to test their empty capsid (AAV VLP) service. For my batch capsids were nearly completely empty (>97% by AUC and TEM) and were thus a huge help for assay development as a negative control. I also want to highlight that my contact Matthew Wheeler was always very helpful and transparent for any queries I had and that the team is very agile. A big plus is also the very intuitive website. Overall, a big thumbs up for VectorBuilder from my side.

I am very satisfied with the constructions (double mutants) made by Vectorbuilder. The service is very serious and rigorous. They started by verifying our plasmid by doing digestions. As this was not enough, they even sequenced part of the plasmid, which then ensured the success of the constructs. Constant email exchanges for verification steps were ensured with almost instantaneous responsiveness! Quite impressive! Once the sequence was clarified, production was not long, and we were able to do our experiments under excellent conditions. The results were as good as we expected. Bravo again and thank you for the efficiency, the rigor, and the seriousness.

We have used VectorBuilder services for one year. The website is very user-friendly for designing vectors, and there are automatic verifications that make pertinent suggestions when validating sequences. The flexibility of the service is truly amazing, and we can get a perfectly characterized plasmid for the price of an antibody. Working with VectorBuilder saves us a great deal of time, and time is money. We just can't wait to get the plasmid when ordered!
Nous utilisons les services de VectorBuilder depuis un an. Le site web est très simple à utiliser concernant le design de vecteurs et comprend des vérifications automatiques qui font des suggestions pertinentes lors de la validation des séquences. La flexibilité du service est vraiment impressionnante et nous pouvons obtenir un plasmide parfaitement caractérisé pour le prix d'un anticorps. Travailler avec VectorBuilder nous fait gagner beaucoup de temps, et le temps, c'est de l'argent. Nous sommes impatients de recevoir le plasmide lorsque nous le commandons !

Before using VectorBuilder, producing lentiviral overexpression vectors for our in vitro models was a recurring and time-consuming enterprise. We faced frequent challenges in every experimental step, which made it difficult to plan the actual experiments. Setting up the process with VectorBuilder was very efficient, thanks to their great expertise and support. Once we started using VectorBuilder's services, we noticed a substantial increase in productivity as well as a more uniform and predictable transduction pattern of our target cells.
We went on to use VectorBuilder for a large-scale CRISPR screen with a custom library spanning over 1,600 genes. With the provided virus, we were able to easily maintain cell representation and we derived a number of interesting hit genes, which we are excited to follow up on. A big thank you to the entire VectorBuilder Team!

VectorBuilder's AAV serotype panel helped us to choose the best expressing serotype for our brain area and animal model of interest. By piloting injections using a selection of serotypes provided in the panel, we obtained invaluable pilot data before ordering a large scale virus production. This allowed us to save a considerable amount of time and resources. The technical support was great, they answer our questions promptly provided great advice. VectorBuilder technical support team further help us designing and cloning our AAV viral vector. Our preliminary data allowed to map retrogradely labelled neurons in the amygdala using light-sheet microscopy. We would not hesitate to use VectorBuilder for our next projects

To me, science is not a profession. It's a passion for the unknown. It's a constant celebration of perseverance, and love for the truth. And with the professional support of VectorBuilder, the superior quality of VectorBuilder products, and the very competent personalized assistance (thank you so much, Dr. Mirus), science also became an ever-growing source of joy to me. Why? Because since I started to rely on VectorBuilder, I have significantly increased my research output and realized more complex projects much more quickly, giving me time needed to truly enjoy what I'm doing.

Two years ago, when another CRO was struggling to provide the requested clones that I ordered, I reached out to Vector Builder to try to make them for me. Very difficult clones to make due to many repeats of amino acids. They got the clones done for me with no issues and very quickly. I have been using Vector Builder since then. Along with this, working with Alejandro Izurieta (California Territory Manager) has been great. He is knowledgeable, and professional promptly answers my request and is courteous. I rely on him to get the service that I need from Vector Builder done. He is just wonderful!

We began using VectorBuilder for adenoviral plasmids construction about a year ago. We normally handled all cloning projects ourselves, but when it comes to adenoviral vectors, because of their large size, sometimes the cloning is kind of tricky for inexperienced students. So we decided to give VectorBuilder a try. The plasmid arrived one month later and the virus we generated from it expressed the correct gene. We have ordered more than 10 adenoviral plasmids and they all work fine. VectorBuilder has saved us a lot of time.

VectorBuilder’s online vector design platform is user friendly and easy to use. All one needs to do is select sequences of inserts either from their vast data base or provide one’s own unique sequences. The sequence database provides a wealth of information and links to peer-reviewed publications. Placing order for the vectors is easy and their technical and supporting staff are prompt in offering solutions. They offer services at low prices in comparison to other commercial sources. With the guaranteed service, I can concentrate on my experiments instead of constructing the vector. Thanks are especially due to Stella Gideon for her support at every step. If one is constrained with time and manpower to devote to vector construction, leave it to VectorBuilder. It is worth every penny.
