Purified reporter lentivirus are available as Single Reporter Vectors with fluorescent or bioluminescent marker or Dual Reporter Vectors with combination of fluorescent and bioluminescent markers. Choice of fluorescent markers include: eGFP, eYFP, eCFP, mCherry, mKate2, PLUM, RFP.  Bioluminescent Markers include Firefly, Renilla and Gaussia luciferase

Pre-made lentivirus titers range from 10⁶ to 10⁸ TU/ml. Titer is determined either by qRT-PCR or by estimation of transducing units (TU/ml) after limiting dilution in cell culture.
