Article Description

HEX-labeled oligonucleotides obtained via typical synthetic protocols may contain more than 15% of material with altered spectral characteristics. We discovered hexachlorofluorescein residue transformation unknown earlier for standard DNA ammonolysis step. HEX residue reacts with ammonium hydroxide yielding acridine derivative, which has differed UV-VIS and fluorescent properties compared to HEX. Therefore, for critical bioassays where sensitivity and/or fluorescent signal differentiation (e.g., in quantitative or multiplexed assays) are essential, the careful RP-HPLC purification step is required. © 2009 American Chemical Society.
