Oligonucleotides

Additional Quality Controls

MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry

This method provides the most precise information about the length, deprotection-product and the presence of labels for modified oligonucleotides over a broad range of lengths (up to 60 bases).


RP-UHPLC

This is a very efficient technique giving quantitative information about the purity level of oligonucleotides from 15 to 40 bases long.


IEX-UHPLC

This technique is particularly adapted to quantify the purity level of oligonucleotides from 15 to 40 bases long.


Fluorescence analysis

This nondestructive physical technique provides qualitative information about your fluorescent oligonucleotides.
