Turtle Technology Launches Gene Editing Efficiency Detection Kit
News - 24-09-13

Gene editing often requires testing for editing efficiency. However, existing methods, such as T7E1 enzyme cleavage analysis, fluorescent quantitative PCR, and DNA sequencing, are typically cumbersome, time-consuming, and lack precision.

To address these challenges, Turtle Technology introduces the Gene Editing Efficiency Detection Kit (qPCR & dPCR Methods).

This kit utilizes ultra-high specificity Taq DNA polymerase——SNUPP polymerase and the third-generation ARMS technology, the Perfect-ARMS. With just one qPCR or dPCR reaction, you can quickly and accurately measure gene editing efficiency.

Highlights of the Gene Editing Efficiency Detection Kit:

  • Easy to Operate: One-step procedure for rapid and reliable gene editing efficiency data.

  • High Specificity: Precisely distinguishes between wild-type and mutant sequences, suitable for detecting various types of gene edits.

  • Broad Applicability: Supports CRISPR/Cas9, TALEN, and ZFN technologies (including indel detection, HDR repair, and base editing) and is compatible with various biological samples.

Key Features of the SNUPP DNA Polymerase:

  • Ultra-High Specificity:

    • Specific primer recognition with the ability to detect SNPs using just one 3' terminal base mismatch.

    • Ideal for third-generation ARMS technology.

  • Compatible with Taqman Probes:

    • Features 5' exonuclease activity, making it suitable for qPCR using Taqman probes.

  • Low Non-Specific Amplification:

    • Minimizes non-specific amplification, reducing qPCR background signals and droplet noise in digital PCR.

    • Requires lower primer specificity, simplifying primer design.

  • High GC Template Compatibility:

    • Excellent performance in high-GC content systems (up to 85%) and poorly conserved primer regions.

  • Wide Range of Applications:

    • Suitable for high-specificity/multiplex PCR, fluorescent quantitative PCR (dye-based and probe-based), and digital PCR (probe-based).

Comparative Amplification Specificity of Different Taq Enzymes:

  • HEX Channel (Indel-Insensitive Amplicon to Indicate Amplification Activity): The amplification activity of all Taq enzyme products is comparable.

  • FAM Channel (Indel-Sensitive Amplicon to Indicate Specificity): SNUPP Taq enzyme shows no amplification signals in indel mismatch templates, demonstrating specificity superior to other products by at least 27 cycles (Ct).
