Short/Small Interfering RNAs

High quality siRNA reagents for potent gene silencing

RNA interference (RNAi) using small, interfering RNA (siRNA) is the best way to effectively knock down gene expression to study protein function in a wide range of cell types.

  • Choose from guaranteed, pre-designed siRNAs targeting human, mouse, or rat
  • Validated siRNAs available against key human and mouse targets
  • Specificity-enhanced siRNA reduces the likelihood of off-target effects
