Custom DNA Oligos
Guaranteed Oligos™
With its Guaranteed Oligo line, Sigma-Proligo gives you access to a comprehensive range of standard, purified, labeled or modified DNA, RNA and S-OLIGOS with the highest quality standards:
all oligos are deprotected, desalted and QC’d by PAGE or MALDI-TOF mass spectometry.
additional purification available (RPC, PAGE, RP-HPLC or IE-HPLC).
final analytical quality controls can be added (analytical RP-HPLC or IE-HPLC profile, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry)
oligos can be delivered in solution or dry, at specified concentrations or aliquoted

**RPC purification allows one to obtain high quantities of purified oligos and will provide the necessary purity level (85-90%) for most high resolution applications. This purification is available for oligos up to 60 mers.
RP-HPLC purification provides a very pure product with the highest yields. It is advisable to use RP-HPLC purification for oligos ranging from 35 mers to 60 mers. RP-HPLC allows one to reach a purity of approximately 90-98%. For longer oligos the purity level is greatly decreased.
PAGE purification is recommended for oligos from 35 bases up to 100 bases. Although yields can be very low (1 OD range), the level of purity can reach 98% for short oligos, and average 90% for very long oligos.
