Canvax is a leading manufacturer and supplier of the most innovative solutions, kits and R&D Reagents inside Molecular Biology fields. Since its foundation in 2001, Canvax offers reliable, cost-effective and easy-to-use innovative tools for research. Based in Córdoba (Spain), since its beginning it has focused on R&D of multiplex high throughput platforms (HTS) for Drug discovery and Diagnostic applied biosensors. Over a decade later, Canvax is a worldwide leading expert in GPCR expression in heterologous cells, with important patents and exclusive know-how. Canvax prides itself to be the first company to get an unprecedented milestone that could revolutionize the Diagnostics sector: Canvax established stable high-level expression of odour GPCRs into heterologous cell lines in 2014. This key milestone, that could be applied in diagnostic, perfume and cosmetic industry, are being employed to obtain a molecular nose, a sensitive and non-invasive diagnostic molecular device for early detection of cancer, as the nose of trained dogs do. Thanks to this project, Canvax was awarded, in 2013, with the largest Public & Private Contract for Pre competitive Technology Development in Spanish history.

Lenti / AAV
Lentiviruses (LENT) and Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are two types of viruses that are commonly used as gene therapy vectors, and can also be used as cloning vectors in molecular biology.
Cloning vectors are essential tools for molecular biologists that enable them to transfer a foreign DNA fragment into a host cell for replication and expression. Lentiviral and AAV vectors can be modified to act as cloning vectors by replacing their viral genes with the gene of interest, making them valuable tools for research.
These vectors can be used for a variety of applications, including protein expression, gene knockdown, and gene editing. They are designed to efficiently deliver the gene of interest to target cells, and can be modified to meet specific experimental needs.
