3 product FAQs found

Is there a positive control for siRNA which target non-coding RNA? How about a negative control?

We do have a positive control siRNA targeting MALAT-1, which is a ncRNA localized mostly in the nucleus (Cat. No. 4455877). Silencer Select Negative Controls #1 and 2 can be used as the negative controls.

How critical is it to include positive and negative controls in siRNA experiments?

A positive control siRNA such as the Silencer Select GAPDH siRNA will demonstrate efficient transfection and help to optimize transfection conditions. A negative control siRNA is necessary to serve as a baseline for gene expression.
