Supporting data

  • Dharmacon large-scale custom synthesis capabilities

    To demonstrate the quality, consistency, and scalability of our oligonucleotide manufacturing services, we're pleased to share the following data:


    Purified 42-mer crRNA
    9A4961F910E84065AC100DE7ED96671F
    B
    analysis 42 mer oligo anion exchange hplc 
    C
    analysis 42 mer oligo mass 

    Purity analysis and characterization of a 42-mer crRNA oligonucleotide. The 42-mer RNA was synthesized using 2’-O-TBDMS chemistry at 120 µmol scale. After cleavage and deprotection, the RNA oligonucleotide was purified by anion-exchange chromatography. Pooled fractions were desalted by ultra-filtration followed by freeze drying to yield lyophilized RNA. (A) Analytical ion-pairing reverse phase UPLC trace showing 92% full-length product (FLP); (B) Analytical anion-exchange HPLC trace showing 89% full-length product (FLP); (C) Mass was analyzed with the LXQ Mass Spectrometer, confirming the correct mass.


    Purified 30-mer DNA
    A
    analysis 30 mer oligo 
    B

    analysis 30 mer oligo mass

    Analysis of a 30-mer DNA oligonucleotide with final delivery yield of 1 g. (A) Analytical trace from ion pairing reverse phase UPLC showing 97% full length material. (B) Mass was analyzed by ESI-MS, results illustrate the correct mass.

    These data highlight our commitment to delivering the high-purity, custom-tailored oligonucleotides our partners require to drive their most ambitious research initiatives forward. By partnering with us, you can be confident your projects will have access to the scalable, reliable materials needed to accelerate discovery and validation.
