Description:
Si5-N14 is a lipid-based molecule engineered with siloxane groups, designed specifically for efficient mRNA delivery to the lungs. The incorporation of siloxane units boosts the cellular uptake of mRNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and enhances their ability to escape from endosomes. These properties significantly increase the overall effectiveness of mRNA delivery, making Si5-N14 a promising tool for targeted therapeutic applications.
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance,
we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one
month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at
least 1 hour.
