Invitrogen TrueCut Cas9 Protein v2 CARLSBAD, Calif. (Nov. 27, 2017) 

Overview: Invitrogen TrueCut Cas9 Protein v2 is a next generation CRISPR-Cas9 protein designed to deliver maximum editing efficiency in a broad range of cells, including standard, immune, primary, and stem cells. The latest version of Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Cas9 protein provides a robust, reliable, and efficient way of knocking out a gene’s expression, introducing changes, or making precise edits. The transfection-ready Cas9 protein is designed to deliver consistently high editing efficiency, even in difficult targets or in cells that are difficult to transfect.

Key Applications: The study of gene function or disease in pharmaceutical and biotechnology labs, academic labs, transgenic core labs, and genome engineering labs.

Features/Benefits:

  • Consistently high editing efficiency: All tested cell lines, including standard, immune, primary, and stem—demonstrated up to two times higher editing efficiency in difficult targets than the competition.
  • Superior quality: The protein is manufactured in accordance with GMPs in an ISO 13485-certified facility.
  • Transfection-ready: The Cas9 protein is transfection-ready using either lipid-mediated transfection reagents or electroporation.
  • Standard and custom options: For standard editing scenarios, Thermo Fisher provides a 1 μg/μL concentration. The 5 μg/μL formula is ideal for optimization of editing conditions in more difficult scenarios.
  • Enhanced ease-of-use: Thermo Fisher provides validated protocols for a large number of cell types to help researchers achieve success faster.
  • Superior customer support: Thermo Fisher’s local technical specialists, technical support center, and dedicated genome editing R&D team provide hands-on customer support and solutions to address genome editing questions and challenges.
