Cost-Effective Oligonucleotide Purification and Scaling without HFIP

Purification is critical to many scientific workflows. Compounds of interest are rarely found to be the right purity in their native state. Join Waters and Virscidian for this 6-part webinar series to learn the basics of purification and application of purification principles for more advanced workflows.
PART 6 | Cost-Effective Oligonucleotide Purification and Scaling without HFIP
Chemists face hurdles to achieving cost-effective laboratory scale purification of oligonucleotides; coping with expensive HFIP ion pairing mobile phases, and scaling from analytical UPLC methods to semi-preparative scale separations is not as simple as it seems. Here we present the impact of several techniques in the purification of a 20-mer oligo in the absence of HFIP.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize alternative separations chemistry for purification
- Balance purity and recovery requirements
- Learn purification techniques to employ in the laboratory
