Phage Display Services

Bacteriophage or phage are viruses infecting bacteria. VIRAPUR specializes in the growth and purification of RNA and DNA bacteriophage to high concentrations. Most phage can be produced at an infectious titer of 10¹⁰ to 10¹² plaque forming units per ml.

We also offer construction of recombinant bacteriophage containing your gene of interest. Your gene may be engineered to be displayed as a protein on the surface of the phage or you may request specialized phage for use as a PCR extraction control.

Armored DNA for PCR Assays

We can provide both RNA and DNA phage which can be used as armored controls in PCR assays.

The picture at the right shows a density gradient ultracentrifugation purification of a phage. The phage forms a band at a specific place in the cesium chloride gradient that corresponds to its density. We have generated up to 100 milligrams of purified phage protein.
