Technology
How TurboKnockout® Works
TurboKnockout® technology incorporates two key innovations: super-competent ES cells, which generate 100% ESC-derived founders without the need for chimeric screening, and a self-deleting Neo cassette, which removes itself during the targeting process, eliminating the need for Flp breeding and reducing project timelines by 4-6 months.
TurboKnockout® vs. Other Gene Editing Methods
Leverage our cutting-edge Targeted Gene Editing technology for rapid and precise knockout rat generation, tailored to meet stringent research specifications.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the most complex types of knockins TurboKnockout® can reliably achieve?
TurboKnockout® excels at a broad range of complex knockins. This includes multi-exon humanizations, precise point mutations, reporter gene insertions, intricate genomic rearrangements, and advanced conditional models with multiple loxP sites. Our technology ensures reliable delivery of even the most challenging genetic modifications.
Does the 100% germline transmission and 6-8 month turnaround apply equally to rat model generation?
Yes, the exceptional precision, 100% germline transmission guarantee, and rapid 6-8 month turnaround time fully apply to our TurboKnockout® rat model generation. Our cutting-edge technology delivers the same reliable, complex modifications in rats as in mice.
What measures demonstrate the absence of off-target edits or unintended genomic rearrangements?
TurboKnockout® is designed for highly specific targeting, minimizing off-target effects. We employ rigorous quality control measures, including comprehensive molecular validation (e.g., Southern blot, long-range PCR, sequencing of the target locus) to confirm precise integration and ensure impeccable model integrity.
Are there any trace sequences or "footprints" left by the self-deleting Neo cassette?
Our self-deleting Neo cassette removes itself completely during the targeting process. This eliminates residual sequences or "footprints," ensuring no unintended impact on gene expression or subsequent experimental designs. This key innovation streamlines the process by removing the need for Flp breeding.
What ES cell strains are compatible? Can custom strain ES cells be used, and how might this affect guarantees or timelines?
Our super-competent ES cells are compatible with widely used genetic backgrounds, including C57BL/6N. We also offer options for other strains. While custom strain ES cells may involve additional validation, our 100% germline transmission guarantee remains a cornerstone of our service, with timelines clarified upon project specifics.
