Our Commitment to You
CRISPR Gene Knockout Kit
EditCo guarantees the Gene Knockout Kit* will give 50% editing efficiency given that the below provisions are true:
- Must be using EditCo’s protocols (Nucleofection/Lipofection of RNPs)
- Must be using EditCo’s SpCas9 protein
- Must be using EditCo’s TRAC (human) or Rosa26 (mouse) positive controls

Knockout Immortalized Cell Clone
EditCo does not test the protein levels of the clones delivered. Protein analysis should be conducted by the recipient using flow cytometry, Western blot, or ELISA within the first 7 days after thawing the Knockout Immortalized Cell Clone.
If upon testing you do not have a 100% protein knockout where a homozygous clone is ordered, EditCo will either replace your Knockout Immortalized Cell Clone free of charge, provide a credit, or refund your purchase price. Products need to be tested as described above within 60 days of delivery. Heterozygous Knockout Immortalized Cell Clones are not included in our guarantees.
EditCo guarantees do not apply if the edited gene in your knockout cell clone is deemed as Common Essential, per the DepMap Database. If you choose to continue with a gene that is identified as common essential, you will be invoiced for the full amount quoted upon completion of Milestone 1b (transfection and genotyping of the pool), regardless of whether clones are successfully isolated and with no guarantee of minimum editing efficiency. If a common essential gene is able to be knocked out successfully and created into a clone, we will continue with our process and invoice the full amount quoted.
Delivery of your Knockout Immortalized Cell Clones is dependent on the ability of the cell line to be isolated and grown from a single cell. In the event that the biology of the desired cell line prevents it from being clonally isolated and expanded and the project is not subject to milestone-based payment terms, EditCo will offer 1) the option of delivery of the cell pool for the same gene modification in the same cell line for the price of the pool or 2) the option to cancel the project and utilize the funds for a new clonal project.
If we are unable to identify any clones of the zygosity specified on the quote and the project is not subject to milestone-based payment terms, EditCo will offer 1) the option of delivery of cell clones of an alternate zygosity at 75% of the quoted price 2) the option of delivery of the cell pool for the same gene modification in the same cell line for the price of the pool or 3) the option to cancel the project and utilize the funds for a new clonal project.
Knock-in Immortalized Cell Pool
Knock-In Immortalized Cell Pools are guaranteed to have detectable levels of the knock-In sequence at the specified target locus as confirmed by Sanger sequencing or fragment PCR in our hands. Given the low frequency of knock-In repair, we are unable to guarantee a minimum knock-In percentage.

Engineered Cell Libraries
EditCo guarantees that the Engineered Cell Library will have 70% of pools successfully analyzed by Sanger sequencing and ICE per plate (batch). 70% of successfully analyzed pools will have an indel frequency ≥50% per plate (batch). If an ECL product doesn’t meet the minimum QC criteria and there are no special payment stipulations, the customer will have the option of canceling the order or accepting the Engineered Cell Library at a reduced rate. We do not commit to re-work attempts in the quote terms.
Each tube will contain at least ~20,000 cells with the exception of Common Essential, per the DepMap Database and iPSC and immortalized cells derived from primary cells. If an ECL product doesn’t meet the minimum cell quantity requirement the following discount will be applied: 50% discount of the pool if one or more tubes contains <20,000 cells per tube. Pool free of charge if one of the tubes contains <10,000 cells per tube.
Product needs to be tested within 60 days of delivery.
User-Supplied Cells
Acceptance of user-supplied cells is dependent on the cells passing our stringent quality control tests in addition to their ability to thrive under our culture conditions. Customers will be asked to provide relevant culture conditions that will be used internally. If a cell line fails our quality control, we will contact you with the relevant information and allow you to send another batch of cells. If a cell line fails to thrive in our laboratory, we will contact you to confirm culture conditions and if necessary, arrange for a new cell line.
