Solvent & Solubility
In Vitro:
Ethanol : 20 mg/mL (33.88 mM; Need ultrasonic)
DMSO : 2 mg/mL (3.39 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

RNA interference technology
RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular mechanism that inhibits gene expression by suppressing gene transcription or activating RNA degradation. This mechanism was discovered in plants in 1998 by Andrew Fire and Craig Mello. Today, this phenomenon can be observed in almost all eukaryotes, including protozoa, flies, nematodes, insects, parasites, and mammals.
