SAINT-2 is a cationic lipid with gene transfection activity and is a pyridyl lipid analog. Molecular membranes prepared by SAINT-2 can interact with plasmids to form lipid complexes. After the complex is taken up by cells, the plasmid dissociates from the lipid complex under the action of DOPE and the plasmid translocates across the endosome and/or nuclear membrane. Thus, SAINT-2 effectively transfers small oligonucleotides into cells。

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.
