Based on innovative and proprietary lipid-conjugation technology and formulation, this product exhibits significant difference from other siRNA transfection reagents in the market. Quick Protocol:Step 1: 1x105 cells are seeded in 24-well plate in 360 µl of appropriate growth medium containing serum and antibiotics on the day before transfection. Incubate the cells at 37 0C and 5 % CO2. The plate should be 30~50% confluent on the day of transfection. Step 2: For each well of 24-well plate, dilute 8.8 ng of siRNA in 40 µl of serum-free DMEM Medium with High Glucose. Gently tap to mix. Please avoid vortexing the siRNA diluent. Then add GenJet™ Reagent 2.0 µl to the 40 µl diluted siRNA solution. Pipette up-down the mixture for 4~5 times, and incubate the mixture at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow siRNA complex generation. Note: For optimal formation of GenJet™/siRNA complex, use serum-free DMEM Medium with High Glucose to dilute siRNA and GenJet™ reagent! Step 3: Add the mixture of GenJet™/siRNA complex directly to the cell growth medium. Incubate at 37 C and 5% CO2 for 5 hours. Step 4: Replace the siRNA containing medium with fresh cell growth medium with 10 % FBS and incubate at 37 0C and 5 % CO2 for additional 24 hours or 48~72 hours as needed. Step 5: Most RNA interference can be detected within 24~72 hours following transfection. Note: 1. The above transfection protocol is for 24-well plate. Other dish types refer to Table 3. 2. The protocol is optimized for adherent cell lines tested. To achieve the highest efficiency for specific cell(s), more optimization may be necessary. 3. The major factors for transfection optimization include siRNA quantity and siRNA/GenJet™ ratio.
