FASST Rapid Detection Platform

FASST (Fast, Accurate, Specific, and Simple Test) is a next-generation, high-sensitivity, high-specificity, rapid isothermal single-tube nucleic acid detection technology based on CRISPR. Relying on the synergistic action of multiple enzymes at room temperature, FASST enables rapid nucleic acid amplification and detection. It offers dual specificity and dual signal amplification, making it a true point-of-care testing (POCT) technology.
 
Traditional CRISPR detection methods typically involve either two-tube or single-tube reactions. Two-tube reactions are complex and prone to contamination, while single-tube reactions, though simpler and with lower contamination risk, often suffer from low sensitivity and are time-consuming. The FASST technology, developed through EDITGENE's proprietary protein purification platform, overcomes these challenges by optimizing Cas enzyme structures and employing unique crRNA design logic. This approach enables the production of highly efficient crRNA and reporters, creating a single-tube detection system. It reduces contamination risk, improves detection sensitivity to the amol level, and shortens detection time to just 10 minutes, achieving highly sensitive, specific, rapid, and accurate nucleic acid detection, addressing the limitations of traditional CRISPR detection methods.

FAQ

How to Improve the Detection Sensitivity of Cas Enzymes?
1.Design an efficient crRNA sequence. Proper design and structure prediction using online resources can help select suitable crRNA to achieve good trans-cleavage activity of the Cas enzyme.
2.Choose an appropriate signal reporter substrate. Research indicates that using a 15 nt single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) as a reporter substrate maximizes the cleavage reaction rate of Cas12a, significantly enhancing the reaction rate compared to the commonly used 5-nt ssDNA.
3.Optimize reaction conditions and buffers. Adjusting the CRISPR reaction parameters, such as the ratio of Cas enzyme to crRNA, the concentration of the Cas enzyme, and the reaction temperature, can improve detection performance to some extent.
1.The design process can follow these steps:
1.Identify the target gene sequence.
2.Specify the Cas protein being used. Different Cas proteins require corresponding PAM (Protospacer Adjacent Motif) sequences; for instance, Cas12a needs the "TTTV" PAM sequence for target recognition.
3.Select the crRNA targeting region. Choose a 20 nt nucleotide sequence on the target gene that is adjacent to the PAM site and pairs with the complementary strand of the crRNA.
4.Combine the selected 20 nt target sequence (variable part) with the scaffold sequence (fixed part) to design the crRNA sequence.
5.Use online tools such as CRISPR design tools (e.g., CRISPOR, Benchling, etc.) to assist in designing crRNA. These tools can predict the efficiency and specificity of the sgRNA, helping to avoid potential off-target effects.
6.After completing the design, the synthetic crRNA sequence can be ordered from a synthetic biology company.
