barrier pipette tips, and tubes should be used. Upon receipt, your siRNAs may be safely stored in a non-
frost-free freezer for 1 year at 鈥?20掳C or 鈥?80藲C (dried oligonucleotides are shipped at ambient temperature).

Important: Perform this process under a tissue culture hood.

1. Remove seal carefully.
2. Add 50 碌l nuclease-free, sterile water using a multichannel pipette and sterile tips (adding 50 碌l
water to 0.25 nmol siRNA will make a 5 碌M stock).
3. Gently pipette up and down 5 times to resuspend.
4. (Optional) Aliquot the siRNAs into one or more daughter plates, to limit the number of freeze-thaw
cycles to which the siRNAs are subjected.
5. Place a new sterile seal on the plate before storing.
6. Store at 鈥?80掳C until ready to use.

determined empirically. We have found that siRNAs typically work best when present in cell culture medium
at 10鈥?50 nM; however, a more extensive concentration range from 1鈥?100 nM can be analyzed in
optimization experiments.

a
Refer to the instructions provided with your transfection agent for the recommended volume.
b
The siRNA amount shown results in a final siRNA concentration of 30 nM. The amount of siRNA required for maximal gene
silencing will vary from cell type to cell type. For a 96-well plate, and a 100 碌l final transfection volume, 3 pmol of a 5 碌M siRNA
solution is 0.6 碌l. Robotic pipettors may require volumes of 2鈥?5 碌l for accurate pipetting. To increase pipetting volumes and
accuracy, we recommend preparing a plate with a dilution of your stock siRNA when preparing transfection complexes.
c
Optimal cell density will vary from cell type to cell type, depending on cell size and growth characteristics. In general, 30鈥?70%
confluency is recommended.

Optimizing transfection efficiency is crucial for maximizing gene silencing while minimizing cytoxicity.
Transfection
Optimal transfection efficiencies are achieved by identifying an effective transfection agent for each cell type
Optimization:
and by adjusting (in order of importance):
鈥? Amount of transfection agent
鈥? Amount of siRNA
鈥? Cell density at the time of transfection
鈥? Order of transfection (pre-plating cells or plating cells/transfecting in tandem)
鈥? Length of exposure of cells to transfection agent/siRNA complexes

Most protocols recommend maintaining mammalian cells in the medium used for transfection; this avoids
diluting or removing the siRNAs from the cells by adding medium or washing the cells with new medium too
soon after transfection. We have found that cells typically exhibit greater viability when existing medium is
replaced by fresh medium 24 hours after transfection. Replacing medium after 24 hours generally does not
change the activity of the transfected siRNAs.

Once the conditions for maximal gene silencing are determined, they should be kept constant from
experiment to experiment for a given cell type. Include controls in all plates for each experiment to ensure
consistency.

optimization protocols, see Ambion's siRNA Delivery Resource at:
