Si5-N14
Instructions for Use
Product information
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.

Provided that storage conditions are as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 1 year.
Wherever possible, prepare and use solutions on the same day. If stock solutions must be prepared in advance, store them as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be usable for up to one month.
Before use, and prior to opening the vial, allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
