293 Trace - a qPCR (TaqMan-based) assay

293Trace is a qPCR (TaqMan-based) assay developed in-house for the sensitive and specific detection and quantification of HEK293/HEK293T DNA and other human DNA in biological samples. Targeting conserved regions of the human genome, it achieves picogram-level detection across a broad dynamic range.

The unique features of cellogen Therapeutics’ 293Trace USPs,

• Ready-to-use master mix, primers, and DNA controls
• Detection range: 0.3 pg/µL – 3000 pg/µL
• AI-generated analysis via a secure portal for accurate, automated, and traceable quantification
• Ensures compliance with WHO and ICH recommendations for residual host cell DNA (<10ng/dose, ≤200 bp)
• Validated reagents and SOPs for reproducibility and regulatory consistency

Science Explained- Lentiviral Vectors

A Lentiviral Vector (LV) is a modified virus used in modern gene and cell therapies to deliver genetic material into living cells. Derived from the Lentivirus family, the vector is engineered so that disease-causing components are removed while retaining its ability to efficiently insert therapeutic genes into target cells.

This capability makes LV a critical tool in treatments such as CAR-T cell therapy and other forms of gene therapy. High-quality LV is essential because it ensures safe, efficient, and consistent gene delivery. Reliable vector manufacturing improves treatment effectiveness, supports large-scale clinical research, and enables the development of next-generation therapies for cancer, genetic disorders, and rare diseases.
