HPLC Analysis of Oligonucleotides

This event is now available on demand.



Event Overview:

This session will provide an overview of the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of oligonucleotides. The presentation will review the basics of nucleotides and how synthetic oligonucleotides are produced, introducing the audience to some of the language used in support of these molecules. Additionally, both anion exchange and ion-paired reversed phase analysis will be examined, moving on to an introduction to the application of mass spectrometry (MS) to oligonucleotides.

Topics Covered:
  • Biotechnology
  • Oligonucleotides overview
  • Therapeutic oligonucleotides
  • Oligonucleotide synthesis
  • Oligonucleotide chromatographic considerations
  • Anion exchange chromatography
  • Ion pair reversed phase chromatography
  • Mass spectrometry considerations
  • Ion pair-MS
  • Intact mass spectrum
  • IP-MS/MS
