*We are so confident in the performance of our SygRNA^® products, that we fully guarantee the quality and performance of any guide we produce, including custom sequences. If your SygRNA^® guides do not yield detectable cleavage at the intended target site, we will provide you a one-time replacement, free of charge. To qualify for this guarantee, please send an image or sequencing data from a single experiment demonstrating detectable cleavage using one of our positive controls, side-by-side with the negative results from your SygRNA^® guide.To receive your replacement, simply email us here and include sample data from a representative experiment (T7E1, TIDE, or NGS).

Cas9 Products

• Proteins — Choose from the largest portfolio of Cas9 proteins available for any application.
• Plasmid DNA — Cas9 expression plasmids utilize the CMV promoter for effective, transient expression. Available with and without fluorophore and antibiotic selection elements.
• Lentivirus — Select Cas9-expressing lentivirus transduction particles, with blasticidin or neomycin resistance.
• CRISPR Modulation – CRISPR activation and inhibition (CRISPRa/CRISPRi) utilize catalytically dead (dCas9) to allow gain and loss of function studies to complement your knockout research.
