3. Additional Required Materials

Use of the CRISPRtest assay requires access to a flow cytometer with the following excitation and emission requirements:

Cellecta also offers the following products that may be useful when running this assay:

• Cas9 and dCas9-Variant Cells and Constructs
• Positive Control Cell Line
  • Cas9+ MDA-MB-231 Cells may be run in parallel with your target cells as a positive control for the assay.
• Transduction Control Virus
  • Non-Targeting CRISPR Control virus (e.g. sgNT in pRSG16-U6-sg-UbiC-TagRFP-2A-Puro) may be used to assess transduction efficiency of the target cells.

Non-targeting controls in other Cellecta vectors are available. Please visit our CRISPR Non-Targeting sgRNA Control Construct in Standard Lentiviral Vector web page.

Other than the specific reagents and instruments listed above, the protocols assume the user has access to standard materials (e.g., polypropylene tubes, pipette tips), equipment (table top centrifuges, pipettes, scales), and common reagents (e.g., TE buffer, ethanol) and buffers used in a typical life science laboratory.
