Revvity NEXTFLEX Cas9-gRNA Mito Depletion Enzyme (Human)

Mitochondrial-derived fragments can account for a large share of reads in human ATAC-seq, DNA-seq, and bulk or single cell RNA-seq libraries, especially from mitochondria-rich tissues, reducing effective coverage of nuclear loci and low-abundance features. The NEXTFLEX Cas9-gRNA Mito Depletion Enzyme (Human) is a cost-effective, workflow-independent, and highly specific enzyme that reduces mitochondrial background, directing more sequencing capacity toward nuclear genes, regulatory elements, and other regions of interest, without requiring you to move to a new library prep kit.

It uses a DASH-style (Depletion of Abundant Sequences by Hybridization) CRISPR-Cas9 depletion approach, with a precomplexed Cas9 and pool of guides designed to cleave human mitochondrial DNA and selected nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes at the double-stranded DNA stage. Whether you use your own prep method or a commercial kit, this module delivers clean, reproducible depletion of mitochondrial genome–derived sequences and improved coverage of nuclear content across diverse human NGS workflows.
