Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) is one of the most highly selective sample preparation methods, meaning that the targeted analytes and their matrices must be considered when choosing the correct SPE sorbent and format. Drying down the sorbent before elution is an important step.<ul><li>Wash solvents are used to flush out unwanted compounds (i.e., contaminants). If the wash solvent is not completely removed, then residual wash solvent could contaminate the final elution.</li><li>If you do not dry the SPE sufficiently, it could make the final solution less concentrated and result in a reduction in sensitivity.</li><li>Drying helps physically break down the interactions between the sorbent and analyte for a more concentrated extract.</li></ul>After the wash solvent has been passed through the cartridge, continue to apply negative pressure (vacuum) or positive pressure. Use this pressure to dry the cartridge for 2 to 5 minutes (or until dry). Turn off the pressure and wipe the tips of the manifold needles to remove any residual solvent.<h5>Notes</h5><ol><li>Reproducibility: Drying removes traces of residual sample/matrix and wash solvent from the sorbent. This produces a more concentrated final extract with a consistent volume and composition and yields better reproducibility and higher recoveries.</li><li>Immiscibility: Drying is especially critical when using elution solvents that are immiscible with water (e.g. hexane, ethyl acetate, and methylene chloride). Residual water in the sorbent bed may prevent dissolution of the analyte in the elution solvent, resulting in low recoveries and irreproducibility.</li><li>Over-drying: Avoid over-drying the sorbent, since in some cases, analyte recovery may decrease with excessive vacuum or drying times above 5 minutes. Dry cartridges look distinctly different from moist ones. Make a note of the cartridge appearance before and after conditioning. Also, you could touch the cartridge while it is drying; wet cartridges feel colder than dry cartridges.&nbsp;</li></ol>

Why Is It Necessary to Dry the SPE Sorbent Before Elution?

<h3>Mastering Ion-Pair Reversed-Phase Chromatography for Oligonucleotide Analysis</h3><h4>Why Purity Is Critical in the Oligonucleotide Era</h4>Oligonucleotides — short, synthetic strands of DNA or RNA — are central to modern biotechnology. They power gene therapies, advanced diagnostics, and cutting-edge molecular research. However, before these molecules can be used in clinical or research settings, their purity and structural integrity must be thoroughly verified. High-resolution chromatographic analysis plays a crucial role in ensuring quality and safety.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/KNAUER_Figure_1_Separation_Example_of_Oligonucleotides_5577514561.jpg" alt="KNAUER: Figure 1 - Separation Example of Oligonucleotides." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_KNAUER_Figure_1_Separation_Example_of_Oligonucleotides_5577514561.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1024" height="368"><h4>Understanding Ion-Pair Reversed-Phase (IP-RP) Chromatography</h4>For scientists involved in oligonucleotide synthesis and characterization, Ion-Pair Reversed-Phase Chromatography (IP-RP) is one of the most effective analytical tools available.Unlike separation techniques that rely solely on charge differences, IP-RP combines:<ul><li>Ionic interactions</li><li>Hydrophobic interactions</li></ul>This dual retention mechanism enables exceptional resolution — even for oligonucleotides that differ by only a single nucleotide or subtle chemical modification. Whether assessing synthesis efficiency or purifying therapeutic-grade material, IP-RP provides reliable, reproducible separations.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/KNAUER_Figure_2_Overview_of_IP_RP_Mode_prinicple_ecd54b6e9c.jpg" alt="KNAUER: Figure 2 - Overview of IP-RP Mode prinicple." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_KNAUER_Figure_2_Overview_of_IP_RP_Mode_prinicple_ecd54b6e9c.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1024" height="456"><h4>The Principle Behind Ion-Pairing</h4>Oligonucleotides possess a highly negatively charged phosphate backbone. In a traditional reversed-phase system, such hydrophilic, charged molecules would show little retention.IP-RP overcomes this limitation by introducing a positively charged ion-pairing reagent into the mobile phase. The cation associates with the negatively charged oligonucleotide, forming a transient ion pair with increased hydrophobic character. This modified complex can now interact with the hydrophobic stationary phase.Retention strength depends on:<ul><li>The hydrophobicity of the ion-pair reagent</li><li>The strength of ionic interaction</li><li>The applied organic gradient</li></ul>During gradient elution (commonly using acetonitrile), analytes are released in a controlled manner according to size, sequence, and chemical modifications.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/KNAUER_Figure_3_Ion_Pair_Reversed_Phase_Principle_9a4fcd12f2.jpg" alt="KNAUER: Figure 3 - Ion-Pair Reversed Phase Principle." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_KNAUER_Figure_3_Ion_Pair_Reversed_Phase_Principle_9a4fcd12f2.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1024" height="393"><h4>Choosing the Right Ion-Pair Reagent</h4>Successful IP-RP separation depends heavily on selecting an appropriate ion-pair reagent. Two key factors determine retention behavior:<ol><li>Alkyl chain length</li><li>Charge density</li></ol><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/KNAUER_Figure_4_Ion_Pair_Classification_eaad172a4e.jpg" alt="KNAUER: Figure 4 - Ion-Pair Classification." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_KNAUER_Figure_4_Ion_Pair_Classification_eaad172a4e.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1024" height="398"><h4>Strong Cationic Ion-Pair Reagents</h4>Ion-pair reagents with longer alkyl chains provide stronger hydrophobic interactions and increased retention. A widely used example is tetrabutylammonium (TBA⁺), frequently applied for strongly retained anionic analytes.These reagents are particularly useful when high retention strength is required.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/KNAUER_Table_1_Strong_Cationic_Ion_Pair_Reagents_8dbf00c57e.jpg" alt="KNAUER: Table 1 - Strong Cationic Ion-Pair Reagents." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_KNAUER_Table_1_Strong_Cationic_Ion_Pair_Reagents_8dbf00c57e.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1024" height="396"><h4>Volatile (Weaker) Ion-Pair Reagents</h4>Short-chain ion-pair reagents generate weaker retention but offer a significant advantage: compatibility with LC–MS detection.Triethylammonium (TEA⁺) is among the most commonly used reagents for oligonucleotide analysis, particularly when mass spectrometric detection is involved. Other options, such as diisopropylethylammonium (DIEA⁺), are also widely applied, often combined with HFIP to enhance MS performance.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/KNAUER_Table_2_Weak_Cationic_Ion_Pair_Reagents_6332a4975e.jpg" alt="KNAUER: Table 2 - Weak Cationic Ion-Pair Reagents." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_KNAUER_Table_2_Weak_Cationic_Ion_Pair_Reagents_6332a4975e.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1024" height="283"><h4>Building an IP-RP Method for Oligonucleotides</h4>Developing a robust IP-RP method follows a logical sequence:<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/KNAUER_Table_3_IP_RP_Method_Step_Procedure_for_Oligos_c2216c24a0.jpg" alt="KNAUER: Table 3 - IP-RP Method Step Procedure for Oligos." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_KNAUER_Table_3_IP_RP_Method_Step_Procedure_for_Oligos_c2216c24a0.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1024" height="304"><h5>1. Characterize the Analyte</h5>Oligonucleotides typically contain 10–50+ nucleotides and exhibit high negative charge density. This necessitates a suitable cationic partner such as TEA⁺ or DIEA⁺.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/KNAUER_Figure_5_Cationic_Ion_Pair_Principle_for_Oligonucleotides_cb2dfb7457.jpg" alt="KNAUER: Figure 5 - Cationic Ion-Pair Principle for Oligonucleotides." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_KNAUER_Figure_5_Cationic_Ion_Pair_Principle_for_Oligonucleotides_cb2dfb7457.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="512" height="320"><h5>2. Select the Column</h5>Use a reversed-phase column with:<ul><li>Large pore size (≈300 Å)</li><li>Appropriate internal diameter</li></ul>These parameters support the so-called “ON–OFF” retention mechanism — a bind-and-elute behavior where analytes are strongly retained until the gradient triggers rapid elution.<h5>3. Optimize the Mobile Phase</h5>A typical starting condition includes:<ul><li>10 mM TEA buffer at pH ~7</li><li>Acetonitrile as organic modifier</li></ul>Gradient programs from approximately 5% to 50% organic solvent over 15–30 minutes are commonly effective for complex oligonucleotide mixtures.<h5>4. Adjust Retention Strength if Needed</h5>To increase retention:<ul><li>Raise ion-pair concentration (up to ~100 mM if required)</li><li>Select a more hydrophobic ion-pair reagent</li></ul><h5>5. Validate the Method</h5>Ensure robustness, sensitivity, and reproducibility by carefully evaluating:<ul><li>UV chromatograms</li><li>MS traces</li><li>Peak shape and resolution</li></ul><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/KNAUER_Figure_6_UV_MS_traces_of_IP_RP_Oligonucleotide_Analysis_81faf4e9f0.jpg" alt="KNAUER: Figure 6 - UV-MS traces of IP-RP Oligonucleotide Analysis." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_KNAUER_Figure_6_UV_MS_traces_of_IP_RP_Oligonucleotide_Analysis_81faf4e9f0.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1024" height="365"><h4>Why IP-RP Is Considered the Gold Standard</h4>Ion-Pair Reversed-Phase Chromatography uniquely combines the resolving power of reversed-phase LC with the ability to retain highly polar, charged biomolecules.Its advantages include:<ul><li>Tunable selectivity</li><li>Compatibility with UV and MS detection</li><li>Scalability from analytical to preparative workflows</li><li>Applicability from research to pharmaceutical production</li></ul>By transforming highly charged oligonucleotides into hydrophobic ion-pair complexes, IP-RP enables precise and reproducible separations that would otherwise be impossible in conventional reversed-phase systems.For these reasons, IP-RP is widely regarded as the benchmark technique for oligonucleotide analysis.<h4>Final Thoughts</h4>Mastering IP-RP is less intimidating than it may seem. A successful method comes down to:<ul><li>Selecting the right ion-pair reagent</li><li>Choosing a suitable column</li><li>Optimizing gradient conditions</li><li>Fine-tuning temperature and concentration parameters</li></ul>With thoughtful method development, IP-RP delivers sharp peaks, clean separations, and reliable performance — fully compatible with modern mass spectrometry workflows and ready to meet the demands of advanced oligonucleotide analysis.

Core-shell particles are designed with a solid, non-porous silica core surrounded by a porous outer layer. This unique structure allows for faster analyte mass transfer between the mobile and stationary phases, as diffusion occurs only through the thin, porous shell rather than the entire particle. This minimizes band broadening, leading to higher separation efficiency and sharper peaks.The consistency in size and shape of core-shell particles further enhances separation efficiency by reducing variability in analyte movement. As a result, core-shell HPLC columns provide high efficiency and resolution at lower backpressures, making them an ideal choice for labs looking to improve their existing HPLC systems without the need for costly UHPLC equipment.Core-shell technology thus offers a cost-effective alternative to upgrading to UHPLC systems, enabling labs to maximize the efficiency of their current HPLC setups. The formation of these particles through advanced sol-gel processing techniques ensures uniformity and reliability, making them a valuable tool in modern chromatography. By using the Kinetex HPLC column, laboratories can achieve faster analysis times and higher productivity while maintaining excellent separation performance.<h3>Kinetex Core-Shell Performance on Any LC System</h3>The 5 versatile particle sizes allow you to select the best fit for your instrument.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Phenomenex_HPLC_and_UHPLC_Kinetex_Core_Shell_Technology_Columns_5_particle_sizes_bbed75c36f.jpg" alt="Phenomenex: Five versatile particle sizes of Kinetex Core-Shell Technology Columns" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Phenomenex_HPLC_and_UHPLC_Kinetex_Core_Shell_Technology_Columns_5_particle_sizes_bbed75c36f.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1341" height="333"><h3>Particle Chemistry</h3>Using sol-gel processing techniques that incorporate nano-structuring technology, a durable, homogeneous porous shell is grown on a solid silica core to create a Kinetex Core-Shell particle.

The electronegative fluorine groups offer high selectivity for cationic compounds.<h4>Dependable F5 Selectivity</h4>While older pentafluorophenyl phases (PFP, PFPP, F5, etc.) are based on existing bonding techniques and technologies that promote irreproducibility. The Kinetex F5 was meticulously designed by Phenomenex R&amp;D and its customers, to provide consistently accurate and high performance results.<h4>Take Advantage of Multiple Interactive Mechanisms</h4>The multiple interactive mechanisms of the Kinetex F5 (pentafluorophenyl ) column successfully separate methoxybenzene isomers, while the Kinetex C18 column, which has minimal bonding interactions, cannot separate the methoxybenzene isomers. This demonstrates that columns that rely primarily on hydrophobic interactions may not be the first choice for the separation of isomeric compounds and a column with multiple interactive mechanisms may be required.<blockquote>Stationary phase Kinetex F5 is provided in these column types: analytical and preparative</blockquote><h3>Kinetex Core-Shell Technology Columns</h3>Kinetex Core-Shell Technology delivers dramatic improvements in efficiency over conventional fully porous media, which can be leveraged to increase resolution, significantly improve productivity, reduce solvent consumption, and decrease costs.

This minimizes band broadening, leading to higher separation efficiency and sharper peaks.The consistency in size and shape of core-shell particles further enhances separation efficiency by reducing variability in analyte movement. As a result, core-shell HPLC columns provide high efficiency and resolution at lower backpressures, making them an ideal choice for labs looking to improve their existing HPLC systems without the need for costly UHPLC equipment.Core-shell technology thus offers a cost-effective alternative to upgrading to UHPLC systems, enabling labs to maximize the efficiency of their current HPLC setups.
