About Insert:Vector Ratio Calculator — lentiviral transfer
Work out the insert mass for lentiviral transfer at your chosen molar ratio. insert ng = ratio × (insert bp / vector bp) × vector ng. The calculation uses insert ng = ratio × (insert bp/vector bp) × vector ng. Why it matters: Ligation and assembly efficiency hinge on the molar ratio of insert to vector — not the mass ratio. Because long fragments contain fewer moles per ng, a 'balanced' mass mix can be wildly off in moles. lentiviral transfer: optimise the molar ratio for efficient assembly. Before you trust the number, double-check: using a mass ratio instead of a molar ratio; ignoring fragment length when converting ng↔pmol; too little or too much insert. Everything is computed on your own device — nothing you enter is uploaded — so the tool is safe for unpublished sequences, proprietary formulations and sensitive measurements, and easy to cite in a methods section or lab SOP.
