Appropriate
Controls
When performing RNAi analysis, it is important to include proper positive and
negative controls to help evaluate your results.
The BLOCK-iT™ Fluorescent Oligo and Stealth™ RNAi Negative Control Duplex
are included in the BioModule™ Transfection and Control Unit for your
convenience. Use the BLOCK-iT™ Fluorescent Oligo as an indicator of
transfection efficiency with Stealth™ RNAi or siRNA using any fluorescence
microscope with a standard FITC filter set.
Be sure to include your assay specific controls and controls for mock or
untransfected cells.
