Oligonucleotides are essential tools in a wide range of scientific applications, from basic research in genomics to cutting-edge gene therapies and CRISPR-based gene editing. The integrity, purity, and quality of oligonucleotides directly influence experimental success, biological activity, and the reproducibility of results. Therefore, meticulous oligo analysis and purification are paramount in ensuring that the oligos meet the required specifications and are free of impurities that may interfere with the intended function.
For therapeutic oligonucleotides, impurities—even at sub-percent levels—can result in immunogenicity or off-target activity. Our robust analytical and purification pipelines mitigate these risks at the preclinical stage, enabling clients to avoid costly setbacks in later development.
