Description GeneSilencer® siRNA Transfection Reagent is a novel cationic lipid formulation specifically designed for efficient delivery of siRNAs (small interfering RNAs) into a wide variety of cell types. siRNAs are short, gene-specific double-stranded RNAs that can cause gene silencing in mammalian cells by catalytically cleaving greater than 95% of the target mRNA (1,2,3).
Contents ¿ Hydrated GeneSilencer® Lipid (1 vial x 750 µl for T500750 or 5 vials x 750 µl for T505750) ¿ siRNA Diluent (1 tube x 4 ml for T500750 / 5 tubes x 4 ml for T505750)
Storage The GeneSilencer® siRNA Transfection Reagent is shipped at room temperature. For maximum stability, store all reagents at 4ºC upon receipt. If stored properly, all components are stable for 6 months.

 293 cells transiently transfected with 1 µg of gWiz/GFP. When they are co-transfected with 500 ng of GFP siRNA, GFP expression was efficiently suppressed. (GFP: green, left panels. DAPI: blue, right panels) |
