Agilent launches new SureGuide CRISPR libraries for genomic analysis

Agilent Technologies has announced the launch of a new range of pooled CRISPR libraries for use in functional genomics applications.

The SureGuide offering utilises Agilent's oligonucleotide synthesis platform to create CRISPR guide libraries for use in the CRISPR/Cas genome editing system. Optimised for flexibility, the platform enables CRISPR-based functional screening for any application, from genome-wide knock-outs to fully customised user-designed libraries.

Key attributes include high-fidelity CRISPR guides offered alongside SureVector cloning technology, enabling an optimal distribution of guides to be maintained across even complex libraries.

A selection of ready-to-package, ready-to-clone and ready-to-amplify libraries are being offered for a range of potential uses.

SureGuide is being launched as part of a broader selection of instrumentation and reagents to help laboratories get the best possible results from their CRISPR screens.

Herman Verrelst, Agilent's vice-president and general manager of its genomic solutions and clinical applications divisions, said: "The new libraries represent the first of several planned products in a CRISPR-focused portfolio, supporting every aspect of the CRISPR screening workflow all the way through analysis and hit validation."
