The Mouse ON-TARGETplus RTF Ion Channel library contains siRNA reagents targeting transmembrane proteins having known or predicted ion channel activity. These include both ligand-gated channels, such as the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and voltage-gated channels, such as those that regulate the passage of potassium, sodium, and calcium during polarization and depolarization of the cell membrane.

RTF siRNA libraries are provided as multiple single-use plate sets – just rehydrate, and add cells. This unique pre-plated format reduces hands-on time for faster screening results.

ON-TARGETplus modifications combine sense strand inactivation with a novel seed-region modification. This patented siRNA approach is the best strategy to prevent off-target effects caused by both the sense and antisense strands while maintaining high silencing potency.

Highlights

• Six ready-to-use 96-well plate sets provided for two triplicate screens
• Pre-plated, validated RNAi controls included
• No aliquoting necessary, just resuspend and add cells
• siRNA reagents provided in clear plates at 6.25 pmol per well (50 nM final screening concentration)
• Black or white clear-bottom plates available to support assays involving fluorescent or luminescent detection

Experimental considerations

DharmaFECT transfection reagents are highly recommended for use with RTF libraries and should be purchased separately. Refer to the DharmaFECT Cell Type Guide to find the appropriate formulation for your cell type.
