Ambion Pre-miR™ miRNA Precursor Molecules are small, chemically-modified double-stranded RNA molecules designed to mimic endogenous mature miRNA molecules. These ready-to-use miRNA mimics, which are similar to but not identical to siRNAs, can be introduced into cells using transfection or electroporation parameters identical to those used for siRNAs and enable detailed study of miRNA biological effects via gain-of-function e…

Silencer Pre-Designed siRNAs are Ambion-designed siRNAs available for all human, mouse, and rat gene targets in the RefSeq database. These siRNAs are designed for maximum potency and specificity using a highly effective and extensively tested algorithm. Each siRNA is synthesized to the highest quality standards and is provided with full sequence information. Silencer Validated siRNAs are Ambion-designed siRNAs that have been…

Ambion Silencer Select Pre-Designed and Validated siRNAs incorporate the latest improvements in siRNA design, off-target effect prediction algorithms, and chemical modifications to yield siRNA with unrivaled efficacy, potency, and specificity. The result is fewer failed experiments due to poor silencing, and cleaner, more consistent phenotypic data.

Ambion Silencer® In Vivo Ready siRNAs undergo the additional purification and testing necessary for introduction of siRNA into animals. After HPLC purification and annealing, each siRNA is dialyzed to remove salt, sterile filtered, and endotoxin tested. All Silencer Pre-Designed and Validated siRNAs are available in this format, as are Custom Synthesized siRNAs.

Abmion Validated GAPDH Positive Control siRNA and non-targeting Negative Control siRNAs are available for human, mouse and rat with the same chemical modifications for enhanced efficacy as in other Ambion Silencer Select siRNAs.

For the first time, you can obtain the benefits of Ambion Silencer Select siRNAs in a convenient 96- or 384-well plate format, plated to your specifications. These siRNA collections enable medium- and high-throughput analysis of phenotypes resulting from inhibition of sets of targets from specific functional classes or your favorite list of targets.

Silencer siRNA Libraries are sets of Ambion-designed siRNAs targeting all of the genes in a genome or a particular gene class, making them ideal for pathway analysis and target identification/validation. Most libraries include three individual siRNAs per gene for enhanced data reliability. Full sequence information is provided with each library.

Applied Biosystems currently offers five TaqMan Copy Number Assays to detect copy number variation. Copy number is an important polymorphism in the human genome associated with genetic diseases such as cancer, immune diseases, and neurological disorders. TaqMan Copy Number Assays were designed to detect CYP2D6, CYP2A6, CYP2E1, GSTT1, and GSTM1.

The TaqMan® Custom Array is a 384-well micro fluidic card that enables a researcher to perform 384 simultaneous real-time PCR reactions without the need to use liquid-handling robots or multichannel pipettors to load. This low- to medium- throughput array allows for 1-8 samples to be run in parallel against 12-384 TaqMan® Gene Expression Assay targets that are pre-loaded into each of the wells on the array. The TaqMan Custom…

The TaqMan Custom Plating service offers the convenience of pre-plated TaqMan® Gene Expression Assays, Custom Assays, and Custom Probe/Primer Sets in 96- or 384-well plates. This cost-effective custom plating service gives you the flexibility and reliability you need for your screening applications. Whether you are looking for biomarkers, testing for toxicity, searching for microbes, or performing other high-throughput scree…
