| Description | LwaCas13a (also known as C2c2) originates from the strain Leptotrichia wadei. LwaCas13a is a type II VI CRISPR system effector protein, a crRNA-mediated endonuclease. Its "auxiliary cleavage" activity is activated when recognizing and cleaving target RNA, allowing it to non-specifically cleave single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) in the system. By designing RNA probes labeled with fluorescent groups or other markers at both ends, CRISPR/Cas13a can be used to detect and amplify RNA templates. Results can be observed using a fluorometer or test strips. |
| Storage | Shelf life is 1 year. Storage conditions: -80°C. To avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, after opening, please store the Cas enzyme at -20°C. It is recommended to aliquot according to the number of uses to avoid repeated temperature changes that may reduce enzyme activity. |
