Ready-to-use CRISPR Cas9 sgRNA Synthesis



CRISPR-Cas9 is one of the most convenient types of gene editing technology, and has been widely used in editing genes of many species[1]. CRISPR-Cas9 generally involves construction a plasmid containing the specific endogenous promoter and connection of the Cas9 gene and a synthetic sgRNA, followed by transfer into the cell or animal. However, plasmid construction and verification are both tedious and time-consuming. The degradation of the plasmid is relatively slow, which may prove to be inconvenient for subsequent experiments.

To improve the efficiency of the CRISPR-Cas9 system, Synbio Technologies has developed ready-to-use sgRNA synthesis services. We can perform sgRNA target design, DNA template synthesis of sgRNA, sgRNA in vitro transcription, and sgRNA purification, to provide customers ready-to-use sgRNA that can be directly transfected into cells or animals. Synbio Technologies’s ready-to-use sgRNA saves time on plasmid construction, and avoids the drawbacks of potentially non-degraded plasmids.

According to the publications, in vitro transcription of sgRNA has successfully edited the genes of different species including zebrafish[2], mouse[3]as well as filamentous fungi[4]etc. Synbio Technologies has also designed 3 universal negative control sgRNA for Human and Rat genome: Syno®-negative controls sgRNA1, sgRNA2, and sgRNA3. These sequences are used as a negative control in Human and Rat gene/genome editing experiments.

Service Advantages:

  • One-stop solution: Synbio Technologies provides integrated services from sgRNA target design to high purity ready-to-use sgRNA production.
  • Fast delivery: In just 3 business days, Synbio Technologies will deliver up to 20μg of customized ready-to-use sgRNA
  • Convenience: ready-to-use sgRNA can be directly injected into animals or transfected into cells, improving the efficiency of gene editing experiments

Case Study – Synbio Technologies:

Synbio Technologies has designed a number of sgRNAs to target several genes in mouse, and performing in vitro transfection. The experimental period was shortened to 2 days, and the sgRNA amount was increased to 10-20 μg. This change could means a significant jump in efficiency for synthetic biology experiments utilizing CRISPR-Cas9.
