Reporter Tag Knock-in
Precise knock-in of reporter genes at endogenous loci using CRISPR/Cas9 enables real-time quantitative monitoring of gene expression and signaling pathway analysis.Compared to transient transfection or random integration systems, Reporter Tag Knock-in offers stable expression (single-copy integration), low background signal, and high data reproducibility.Based on the FLASH-KI™ technology platform, we achieve efficient co-delivery of Cas9 RNP and Donor templates, improving knock-in efficiency and stability while maintaining ≥90% cell viability.
