Description:
GenMute™ 
siRNA Transfection Reagent for SMC is pre-optimized for transfecting siRNA to 
smooth muscle cells (SMC).  
Refer to the following optimal transfection conditions for maximal silencing on 
SMC. GenMute™ reagent, 1.0 ml, is sufficient for ~833 transfections in 24 well plates or 
~416 transfections in 6 well plates.
