Oligonucleotide Purification

Oligonucleotides are DNA or RNA polymers that are assembled in a step-wise synthesis reaction where each nucleotide is added to the chain. The synthesis typically goes between 18-40 cycles with around 21 mers being the most common length. While the synthesis chemistry is very efficient, each cycle generates little bits of impurity due to the nucleotide not being added to the chain. The result is a mixture of full length sequences and shorter sequences (truncated). Olignoucleotide purification is the process of removing these shorter sequences from the desired full length sequences.

Oligonucleotide Characterization

After purification. synthesized oligonucloetides are often characterized via electrospray mass spectrometry (ES MS) or matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF).

Successful characterization requires the use of products that are highly selective and allow for sensitive detection towards the nucleotide of interest.
