Design and order libraries of synthetic reagents

Build a library now

When Horizon pre-defined RNAi Screening Libraries don't match your experimental requirements, you can make your own custom library with ease, speed and economy.

You are able to cherry-pick from our premier siRNA, microRNA, Edit-R CRISPR (KO) crRNA and synthetic sgRNACRISPRmod CRISPRa crRNA and synthetic sgRNA and CRISPRmod CRISPRi synthetic sgRNA reagents for human and mouse reagents to create the ideal collection for your particular needs.

Here's how:
RNAi Screening Libraries
  1. Load gene identifiers for your desired products
    • NCBI Gene ID or Gene Symbol
    • miRBase mature name or Accession
    • Dharmacon product catalog numbers
  2. Review the results for accuracy and product availability
  3. Select the product lines and product formats to include on the plates
  4. Configure the library plates for quantity, controls, replicates and layout
  5. Add to cart and check out!
Use the Library Plater to order these products in 96- or 384-well plates
Product lines siRNA: ON-TARGETplus, siGENOME, Accell and Lincode; microRNA: miRIDIAN mimics and inhibitors; Edit-R CRISPR (KO): crRNA and synthetic sgRNA; CRISPRmod CRISPRa: crRNA; CRISPRmod CRISPRi: synthetic sgRNA. RNAi and CRISPR reagents cannot be mixed together in the same library.
Product formats siRNA: SMART pool or up to 4 individual siRNAs; microRNA: Mimics or Hairpin Inhibitors; Edit-R CRISPR (KO): Pool or up to 5 individual crRNA and Pool or up to 3 individual synthetic sgRNA; CRISPRmod CRISPRa: Pool or up to 4 individual crRNA; CRISPRmod CRISPRi: Pool or up to 3 individual synthetic sgRNA.
Species Human or Mouse
Plate type 96 well plates (20 well minimum) or 384 well plates (40 well minimum)
Quantity per well 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1 or 2 nmol (1 or 2 nmol per well only available for 96-well plates)
These options are available but cannot be ordered online. They require a custom quote
Labcyte Echo-qualified 384-well plates Part# PP-0200. LDV plates not available.

    A mixture of 4 CRISPRmod CRISPRa synthetic crRNA provided as a single reagent.
    A mixture of 3 Edit-R CRISPR (KO) synthetic sgRNA provided as a single reagent.
    A mixture of 3 CRISPRmod CRISPRi synthetic sgRNA provided as a single reagent.
    May not be combined with RNAi products on the same plate.
  • Individual crRNA or sgRNA
    Select up to 5 individual Edit-R CRISPR (KO) crRNA per gene.
    Select up to 4 individual CRISPRmod CRISPRa synthetic crRNA per gene.
    Select up to 3 individual Edit-R CRISPR (KO) synthetic sgRNA per gene.

Our siRNA knockdown guarantee:
siGENOME and ON-TARGETplus siRNA reagents (SMARTpool and three of four individual siRNAs) are guaranteed to silence target gene expression by at least 75% at the mRNA level when demonstrated to have been used under optimal delivery conditions (confirmed using validated positive control and measured at the mRNA level 24 to 48 hours after transfection using 100nM siRNA).

Note: Most siGENOME and ON-TARGETplus siRNA products are highly functional at 5 to 25nM working concentration.

 
  • Human siRNA Libraries
    Choose from three siRNA product lines, including two whole-genome collections, to find a SMARTpool or individual siRNA library suitable for your discovery efforts.
  • Mouse siRNA Libraries
    Select ON-TARGETplus for unsurpassed specificity. Select siGENOME libraries for the most up-to-date mouse siRNAs available for optimal gene target coverage.
  • Lincode siRNA Libraries
    Choose a collection of Human or Mouse siRNAs based on RefSeq lncRNA genes with NR_ Accession numbers.
  • miRIDIAN microRNA Libraries
    Mimic and Hairpin Inhibitor libraries are available for human, mouse, and rat microRNAs. Provided in 96-well plates for high-throughput phenotypic screening.
