Silencer™ Human Ion Channel siRNA Library (Invitrogen™)

Ion channels are key components in a multitude of biological processes, including rapid changes in muscle cell contractions, epithelial transport of nutrients and ions, T cell activation and pancreatic beta-cell insulin release. They are therefore a frequent target for drug discovery. The Silencer™ Human Ion Channel siRNA Library contains 1,011 Ambion™ Silencer siRNAs targeting 337 genes. The library was designed using the most up-to-date genome databases, including the NCBI RefSeq database and cross-referenced to the Gene Ontology Consortium (GO) database and/or the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC). Utilizing Ambion Silencer technology built on stringent bioinformatics to ensure high target specificity and siRNA potency, the Silencer Human Ion Channel siRNA Library is an ideal solution for focused and cost-effective RNAi screening against ion channel gene knockdown studies.

Why use the Silencer Human Ion Channel siRNA Library?
Together with careful bioinformatics selection of gene targets, Silencer siRNAs are optimized for design and high quality synthesis with guaranteed silencing (learn more about the guarantee). The Silencer Human Ion Channel siRNA Library contains our pre-designed and when available, validated siRNAs generated with maximum potency and specificity in mind so you can focus on data (learn more about the design). All Silencer libraries are selected against the latest available databases and resources for up-to-date content. Full siRNA sequence information, as well as the exon targeted and each targeted gene's symbol, full name, aliases, RefSeq number, and Locus ID, plus results from any validation experiments performed using the included siRNAs is provided. Please contact us for the complete list of targets.

Silencer siRNA libraries allow you to screen efficiently and maximize data output
Ambion Silencer siRNAs are designed with potency in mind to help ensure gene knockdown at minimum concentrations. This not only helps ensure less potential for off target effects and false positive data but also minimizes false negative outcomes of siRNA screening. The Silencer Human Ion Channel siRNA Library contains 0.25 nmol of each siRNA, sufficient for 100 transfections (at 25 nM siRNA, 100 μL transfection volume).

Flexibility to meet your workflow needs
Thermo Fisher Scientific offers comprehensive list of pre-defined or custom siRNA libraries to human, mouse or rat genes with 1, 2, or 5 nmol of each siRNA or larger sizes.
