...the zeptomolar range while One-step-SHERLOCK has a sensitivity in the femto-aptomolar range. For more details... milliliter can be detected – in the zeptomolar range
Time: ~1 hour
Equipment required: 37°C water bath...powered by a 9V battery which uses a Blue LED and an orange filter to detect fluorescence upon cleavage.
Highlights...the immobilised target sequences. Upon binding, changes in fluorescence can be visualised. Another approach...nucleotide variations. Also, FnCas9 cleaves in a range of temperatures varying between 10-50°C.
