Modification and Purification Options Available
Purification method Description Benefit
Desalt(25 nm: 10–100 nt;50 nm: 5–100 nt)
Oligos are processed through normal phase chromatography column which removes salts but not failure sequences.
A salt-free DNA solution, ready-to-use; suitable for many PCR and sequencing applications without further purification.
Cartridge(50 nm–1 µm, 7–55 nt)
Based on reverse phase chromatography; removes failure sequences from the completed synthesis.
Provides full-length sequences needed in some applications.
HPLC(50 nm+, 10–55 nt)*Long oligo HPLC available
Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) removes failure sequences or unincorporated label the same way as cartridge purification.
Guarantees highly purified primer required in some applications (>=85% full length).
PAGE(200 nm+, 7–100 nt)
Method used to differentiate full-length product from failure sequences based on size and conformation.
Provides the highest percentage of full-length oligos (>=85%) required for certain demanding applications such as mutagenesis or adapter production.
Modification Options: Generic linkers for attachment chemistry, fluorescent dyes, molecular probe dyes, alternative internal bases, phosphorothioates, mixed bases, spacers, phosphorylation, biotinylation, and custom modification development
Purification Options: Standard desalting, Cartridge, HPLC, and PAGE. For large scale synthesis and specialty oligo projects, RP and Ion Exchange HPLC is available
