Evaluation of different ion-pairing reagents for LC-UV and LC-MS analysis of oligonucleotides

24 Feb 2022

The effect of various ion pairing reagents (amines and acidic counterions) on the LC-UV and LC-MS analysis of oligonucleotides (ONs) has been studied. The type of amine and concentration of the counterion play a significant role in the retention and resolution of the ONs and strongly affect the MS data.

In this application note, Agilent Technologies demonstrates that there are numerous variables available for optimization of the analytical conditions for ONs. The analyses were carried out on an Agilent 1290 Infinity II LC System with UV detection by DAD and an Agilent 6530 LC/Q-TOF.

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis.

Oligonucleotides can be made via enzymatic cleavage or more commonly by chemical synthesis with polymerases. Their use includes FISH, southern blots, microarrays and as primers in PCR. High fidelity synthesis kits and detection systems are available for easy production and detection, respectively.BiopharmaceuticalsBiopharmaceuticals are proteins and other compounds (such as nucleic acids) produced by living organisms that have uses as therapeutics or for in vivo diagnostics. The most well known example of a biopharmaceutical product, and the first to be approved for therapeutic use, was recombinant human insulin.BiologicsBiologics are medical products derived from living organisms, including vaccines, gene therapies, and monoclonal antibodies. These treatments are key to modern healthcare, especially in oncology and autoimmune diseases.
