Through the powerful science of RNA interference, successful gene silencing can be achieved
with the use of synthetic, small interfering RNA (siRNA). By targeting these small, synthetic
oligos, typically 19-23 bases in length against a specific gene of interest researchers are
identifying gene function, elucidating pathways, and screening for potential new drug targets.

New siRNA Features
FAST siRNAs
Get your siRNAs faster than ever before. FAST siRNAs are produced in only 3 days. Available in 2
OD and 5 OD format.
Modified nucleotides available for custom siRNAs!
2'OMe bases and LNA nucleotides have been used successfully to increase the serum stability of
siRNA duplexes and are of particular interest for in vivo applications of siRNAs. Try modified
siRNAs for your next in vivo experiment.
Unpurified siRNA is as effective as purified siRNA
For successful knockdown of your gene of interest, order our siRNA (small interfering
RNA) oligos. Our unpurified siRNA oligos are as effective in reducing gene expression as purified
siRNA oligos, making them very cost effective. All our siRNA oligos are deprotected,
desalted and ready-to-use.
Our siRNA oligos are available at a fixed price per oligonucleotide (19 to 23 mers). Longer oligos
and siRNA oligos containing modified nucleotides will be priced per base. Sigma-Genosys produces
siRNA under license from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Superior Manufacturing Capacity
With a capacity to
synthesize over one million siRNA oligos per year, Sigma-Genosys offers reliable delivery times,
no matter how many oligonucleotides you order.

RNA Chemistry and Proprietary Technologies of
Sigma-Genosys
Our RNA synthesis relies on the use of fast deprotection ribonucleoside phosphoramidites protected
at the 2' position by a tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) group and, at the 3' position, by a
phosphoramidite.
RNA synthesis and deprotection are performed using Sigma-Genosys's proprietary
technologies ie. Ultra Fast Parallel Synthesis (UFPS) and Ultra Fast Parallel Deprotection (UFPD).
The use of these technologies means higher coupling efficiency and faster deprotection, resulting
in higher quality synthesis and faster turn-around times.

Specifications of siRNA Oligos
|
Quality control
|
All our siRNA oligos undergo vigorous process monitoring and strict quality control.
Length and labeling are systematically controlled by PAGE or mass spectrometry analysis. Quantity
is systematically validated by UV absorbance at 260 nm.

Storage and stability
|
Although oligonucleotides are stable in solution at 4°C for up to 2 weeks,
Sigma-Genosys recommends storage should be at -20°C. Repetitive freeze-thaw cycles should be
avoided by storing as aliquots. For long-term storage, siRNA oligos should be dried.
Oligonucleotides with fluorescent labels should be protected from light. Sigma-Genosys guarantees
its oligonucleotides for six months, when stored under the above conditions.
