AllStars Negative Control siRNA is the most thoroughly tested and validated negative control siRNA currently available. This siRNA has no homology to any known mammalian gene. Validation has been performed using Affymetrix GeneChip arrays and a variety of cell-based assays to ensure minimal nonspecific effects on gene expression and phenotype. Minimal nonspecific effects ensure that comparison of the gene-specific siRNA to the negative control gives a true picture of the effects of target-gene knockdown on gene expression and phenotype. If the negative control causes nonspecific effects then results from RNAi experiments can be misleading and difficult to interpret. Cloning experiments confirmed that AllStars Negative Control siRNA enters RISC. AllStars Negative Control siRNA is patent-pending and the sequence is proprietary.

This 1X Red Blood Cell (RBC) Lysis Buffer is formulated for optimal lysis of erythrocytes in suspensions of a single type of cells derived from hematopoietic tissues of mice, such as the spleen, as well as in suspensions of human peripheral blood. This tampon contains ammonium chloride, which lyses red blood cells without having a major effect on lymphocytes when the instructions are followed correctly. Ammonium chloride does not effectively lyse nucleated red blood cells.

The CytoTox-ONE™ Homogeneous Membrane Integrity Assay is a fluorometric method for estimating the number of nonviable cells present in multiwell plates. The assay rapidly measures the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from cells with a damaged membrane. LDH released into the culture medium is measured with a 10-minute coupled enzymatic assay that results in the conversion of resazurin into a fluorescent resorufin product. The amount of fluorescence produced is proportional to the number of lysed cells using a 96- or 384-well format. The CytoTox-ONE™ Reagent does not damage normal healthy cells; therefore the reactions set up to measure released LDH can be performed directly in a homogeneous format in assay wells containing a mixed population of viable and damaged cells.

Accutase is a ready to use cell detachment solution of proteolytic and collagenolytic enzymes. Accutase is the "gentler form" of trypsin. It can replace Trypsin/EDTA for the detachment and dissociation of anchorage-dependent cells from surfaces. It can also be used on suspension cells to reduce clumping in preparation for counting.

This solution contains 10,000 units/mL of penicillin and 10,000 µg/mL of streptomycin. The antibiotics penicillin and streptomycin are used to prevent bacterial contamination of cell cultures due to their effective combined action against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Penicillin was originally purified from the fungi Penicillium and acts by interfering directly with the turnover of the bacterial cell wall and indirectly by triggering the release of enzymes that further alter the cell wall. Streptomycin was originally purified from Streptomyces griseus. It acts by binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, leading to inhibition of protein synthesis and death in susceptible bacteria.

Gibco® HEPES (N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethane sulfonic acid) is a zwitterionic organic chemical buffering agent commonly used in cell culture media. The addition of 10–25 mM HEPES provides extra buffering capacity when cell culture requires extended periods of manipulation outside of a CO2 incubator. HEPES is a good buffering choice for many cell culture systems because it is membrane impermeable, has limited effect on biochemical reactions, is chemically and enzymatically stable, and has very low visible and UV light absorbance.

Gibco® 2-mercaptoethanol (also known as beta-mercaptoethanol or BME) is a powerful reducing agent used in cell culture media to prevent toxic levels of free radicals. Mercaptoethanol is not a stable solution. This is why most protocols require daily supplementation. Mercaptoethanol Gibco®-2 is available at a concentration of 50 mM in saline in Dulbecco phosphate buffer (DPBS).

Sodium pyruvate is commonly added to cell culture media as a carbon source in addition to glucose. Since cells make sodium pyruvate as an intermediate metabolite in the glycolysis pathway, it is not a required supplement for all cell cultures. However, if cells have been grown in medium that is supplemented with sodium pyruvate, we recommend continuing use of the supplement as cell growth may lag without it. Gibco® Sodium Pyruvate (100 mM) is formulated using 11 g per liter of water. The final concentration of sodium pyruvate used in most cell culture media is 1 mM.

DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium) is a basal culture medium widely used to support the growth of many different mammalian cells. Cells successfully grown in DMEM include primary fibroblasts, neurons, glial cells, HUVECs and smooth muscle cells, as well as cell lines such as HeLa, 293, Cos-7, and PC-12. We offer a variety of DMEM modifications for a range of cell culture applications.
