Affordable plasmids
Buy plasmid clones and collections from the DNASU plasmid repository.
We distribute throughout the United States and internationally.
Exceptional variety
DNASU stores and distributes over 300,000 plasmids, including 145,000 human and mouse plasmids, full genome collections, the protein expression plasmids from the Protein Structure Initiative as the PSI: Biology Materials Repository (PSI : Biology-MR), and both small and large collections from individual researchers.
For scientists, by scientists
DNASU is a nonprofit plasmid repository led by Arizona State University. We are also a founding member and distributor of the ORFeome Collaboration plasmid collection.

DNASU Vector Map Viewer
DNASU is excited to announce updates to our DNASU Vector Map Viewer. Take a look at our Advanced Viewer to more closely examine vector features, vector sequence, and perform a virtual restriction digest using selected enzymes. Hover over our interactive widget to see more details of vector features and click on restriction enzymes to be redirected to New England BioLabs. Special thanks to LabGenius for their support on this project. Please let us know your thoughts and if you run into any trouble contact us at DNASUHelp@asu.edu

Viral Proteome Collection
DNASU is happy to announce the Viral Proteome Collection , consisting of 838 viral proteins from different infectious diseases. These clones are ready to be expressed using IVTT systems, with c-terminal GST tags for protein capture. They were used to study the interactions between infectious diseases and Type I Diabetes in Immunoproteomic Profiling of Antiviral Antibodies in New-Onset Type 1 Diabetes Using Protein Arrays

90/90 Human ORFeome V1
DNASU is now distributing the 90/90 Human ORFeome, a plasmid collection developed to remove duplication of ORFs and provide full length coverage of target ORFs. This collection comprises the most comprehensive and complete version of the Human ORFeome to date. For more info see 90/90 Gateway Entry Vector Collection and 90/90 pANT7_cGST Expression Vector Collection
How do I search for plasmids?
DNASU has many search options to help with finding your genes and plasmids of interest:
- By clone identifier, such as DNASU Clone ID, Accession Number, RefSeqID, Gene symbol, or GeneID
- By BLAST using nucleotide sequence, amino acid sequence, Accession number or GI as the query
- By backbone features/functions, such as fusion protein tags, promoters, expression systems or cloning strategy
- By an advanced search, combining keywords, gene symbol/name, vector name, species, author name and/or publication information.
How much do plasmids cost?
We offer simple pricing on our plasmids, based on ordering one plasmid at a time, a single price for a 96-well plate of plasmids, or our pre-made collections of plasmids.
Academic/Non-Profit:
- Individual plasmids - $99
- 96-well plate of plasmids - $2400
- Collections - $4.5/clone
Industry/For-profit:
- Individual plasmids - $125
- 96-well plate of plasmids - $2600
- Collections - $7/clone
Will I need to sign an MTA?
All plasmids require an MTA. Some require a signed copy of the MTA be returned to us, however, many institutions have signed our Expedited Process MTA, essentially presigning the MTA for all orders from that institution. Check here to see if your institution has already signed up. If a signed MTA is required to complete your request, our system will send an email to you with a copy of our MTA for signature and return. For more information about our MTAs check here or email us.
