Orochem's New ZARA OPC Cartridges/Plates: Purify with Precision, Excel in Research

Orochem Technologies is excited to introduce our latest innovation in the purification of oligonucleotides—ZARA OPC Cartridges and Plates. These polymer-based, reversed-phase products have a pore size of approximately 300 Å, making them exceptionally stable for organic and basic samples compared to traditional C8 or C18 products.

Key Features of ZARA OPC Products:

  • Versatile Application: Ideal for general oligo purification or DMT-on oligo purification.

  • Effective Impurity Removal: Eliminates salts and traces organic impurities from crude oligonucleotides, providing pure oligonucleotides suitable for sequencing primers, PCR primers, hybridization probes, and gene constructions.

  • High Purity Output: Capable of purifying a wide range of oligos with different molecular weights, from 15 mers to 80 mers.

  • Efficient Separation: Effectively separates DMT-on oligos from other impurities.

General Protocol for Purification of Oligos:

  1. Flow Rate: Regulate the flow rate of solvents through the cartridge at 1-2 drops/sec.

  2. Sample Preparation: Use amino incubation solution of synthesized CPGs.

  3. Conditioning: Condition the OPC product with 2 x 0.5 mL of methanol, followed by 0.5 mL of acetonitrile, then 2 x 0.5 mL 2.0 M TEAA.

  4. Loading: Load the deprotection mixture (0.1 - 0.3 mL, NH4OH or AMA mixture).

  5. Washing: Wash the OPC with 2 x 1 mL of ammonium hydroxide(1:20), followed by 1 mL of DI water and 0.4 mL of 2% (v/v) acetonitrile in water.

  6. Elution: Elute oligonucleotide from OPC with 0.2 mL of 30% ACN/water. Collect the eluted fraction.

General Protocol for Purification of DMT-on Oligo:

  1. Flow Rate: Regulate the flow rate of solvents through the cartridge at 1-2 drops/sec.

  2. Sample Preparation: Use amino incubation solution of synthesized CPGs.

  3. Conditioning: Condition the OPC cartridge with 2 x 0.5 mL of methanol, followed by 0.5 mL of acetonitrile, then 2 x 0.5 mL 2.0 M TEAA.

  4. Loading: Load the ammonium incubation mixture (0.1 mL, NH4OH or AMA mixture).

  5. Washing: Wash the OPC with 2 x 1 mL of ammonium hydroxide(1:20), followed by 1 mL of DI water.

  6. Detritylation: Detritylate support-bound oligonucleotide with 2 x 0.5 mL of 2% TFA. A faint pink/orange band may be observed in the cartridge.

  7. Final Wash and Elution: Wash the OPC with 2 x 0.5 mL of water and elute the oligonucleotide from OPC with 0.2 mL of 30% ACN/water. Collect the eluted fraction.
