Research Grade Oligonucleotides
in vivo Oligos
In vivo oligonucleotides are higher quality research grade oligonucleotides
with reduced cytotoxicity.
Thanks to their optimized production process, they are the ideal choice for your animal studies.
Endotoxin tested production process
The specific production process has been endotoxin tested. Endotoxins were undetectable using a chromogenic LAL endotoxin assay.
Please note that in vivo purified oligonucleotides are RUO oligos which are not endotoxins free certified.
-
Ion-Exchange HPLC
The charge difference between the full-length oligonucleotides and truncated forms is exploited by using anion-exchange chromatography to separate them with high resolution.
-
Desalting
Following HPLC residual salts are removed by size-exclusion chromatography. This step is crucial in order to reduce toxicity to living organisms or cells. Osmolarity: < 100 mOsm/Kg. -
Filtration
After desalting oligonucleotides are 0.22 µm filtered. Please note that in vivo purified oligonucleotides are not sterile certified. -
Lyophilization
All in vivo oligonucleotides are lyophilized and shipped dried
