Company:

Thermo Fisher

Product Name:

GeneArt (TM) Precision gRNA Synthesis Kit

Catalog Number:

A29377

Kit used to successfully design gRNA for downstream CRISPR applications. Specifically seeking to knockout a mitosis protein, use of siRNA has previously been inefficient.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

CRISPR gRNA synthesis

Starting Material

Pre-designed DNA primers created using Thermo's CRISPR gRNA tool

Protocol Overview

Designed primers to synthesize my primers using CRISPR gRNA tool. Performed PCR amplification (using pre-designed primers that added on T7 promoter). Reverse transcribed PCR product to produce gRNA.

Tips

Carefully plan each step, utilize Thermo reps to clarify protocol.

Results Summary

I was able to generate a PCR product, and visualize my gRNA primers on a gel.

Additional Notes

None

Summary

The Good

Overall, the assay was pretty easy to perform.

The Bad

The kit is EXPENSIVE.

The Bottom Line

Worked pretty well to generate my gRNAs, although its impossible to be sure they work until I've completed additional work.
