siGENOME RISC-Free Control is chemically modified to impair processing and uptake by RISC, allowing researchers to isolate cellular effects related to siRNA transfection. As lipid transfection reagents typically rely on charged interaction with the nucleic acid payload, transfection controls using siGENOME RISC-Free are recommended over the use of transfection reagent alone for a more accurate assessment of baseline cellular response.
