Purity and Yield

RNA Oligo Scale of Synthesis and Typical Yield of Unmodified Oligos*

All ssRNA is produced with RNase-free handling and shipped with UV quantitation. Mixed bases may limit MS analysis. For sequences >40–50 nt or high GC/structure, PAGE or dual purification is recommended.

Scale Crude Desalted HPLC Purified Gel Purified
A260 Units nmols mg A260 Units nmols mg A260 Units nmols mg
200 nmol ~15 ~75 ~0.5 ~3 ~15 ~0.15 ~1 ~5 ~0.04
1 μmol ~40 ~200 ~1.4 ~15 ~75 ~0.6 ~5 ~25 ~0.2
2 μmol ~72 ~360 ~2.52 ~27 ~135 ~1.08 ~9 ~45 ~0.36

15 μmol ~480 ~2400 ~16.8 ~180 ~900 ~7.2 ~60 ~300 ~2.4
Purity & Notes Purity: >75% (sequence/structure dependent). HPLC may be recommended for sensitive applications. Purity: 85–95% (sequence/structure dependent; high-GC may lower yield/purity). Purity: 95–98%. Yield drops with length; palindromes/hairpins/high-GC or ≥3 G runs reduce purity/yield.

* Values are typical yield of 20 mer oligo; actual yields vary with sequence, length, modifications, and purification.

* 1) Typical yield stated in the table is for unmodified random sequence oligos. Reduction in yield is observed with high GC content oligos and those forming strong secondary structures.

2) Reduced yield is expected with modified oligos. The reduction percentage varies with modification type and number of sites. Typical reduction is 10%-20% per modified site.

3) Yield of 40µg/A260 unit for RNA oligos is calculated for an ~equimolar base composition. Long stretches of a single base or homopolymers will have variable yields. Example for homopolymeric 50 mer: A(50) = ~20/A260 Unit; G(50) = ~28/A260 Unit; U(50) = ~35/A260 Unit and C(50) = ~39/A260 Unit

Long RNA Synthesis (Chemical & Enzymatic)

Bio-Synthesis can produce high-quality long RNA (>100 nt) by solid-phase chemical synthesis. Feasibility and yield are sequence-dependent—secondary structure and certain motifs can reduce coupling efficiency, so yields generally decrease as length increases.

For very long constructs or when chemistry is impractical, we offer enzymatic RNA (IVT) transcription from a DNA template, reaching a few hundred nucleotides to multi-kilobase lengths.

Chemical Long RNA

  • Practical window: ~80–120 nt (sequence-dependent)
  • Supports 2′-OMe, 2′-F, ψ/m1ψ, LNA/cEt, terminal PS (by design)
  • Purification: PAGE or IEX-HPLC; dual on request

Enzymatic Long RNA (IVT)

  • Length: ~200 nt to multi-kb (template-dependent)
  • Template: dsDNA/plasmid; sequence screening before quote
  • QC options: gel/PAGE or FA/Bioanalyzer; HPLC/PAGE available
About Long RNA

Applications of Long RNA

Long RNA (≈100 nt to multi-kb) enables protein expression, genome editing, regulatory studies, structural biology, and assay calibration. Choose chemical synthesis for precise base-level modifications up to ~80–120 nt (sequence-dependent), and enzymatic IVT for longer constructs.

Application Typical Length Examples Recommended Route Purification / QC
mRNA expression & vaccines 0.5–5 kb (or more) Reporter or therapeutic mRNA IVT (enzymatic) HPLC/PAGE (dsRNA reduction); gel/Bioanalyzer trace
CRISPR workflows ~98–140 nt sgRNA, pegRNA, arrays (Cas12/Cas13) Chemical (≤~120 nt) or IVT RP/IEX-HPLC or PAGE; LC–MS where applicable
Regulatory & lncRNA studies 0.1–2 kb 5′/3′ UTRs, lncRNA domains IVT (>~120 nt) Gel/Bioanalyzer; optional HPLC
Structural & biophysics 0.1–0.5 kb Riboswitches, ribozymes, folding/SHAPE Chemical (≤~120 nt) or IVT PAGE for stringency; IEX-HPLC for charge variants
Standards & controls 0.2–1 kb qPCR/RT-qPCR standards, NGS spike-ins IVT Quant (A260); gel/Bioanalyzer; optional HPLC
RNA–protein interaction 0.1–1 kb EMSA, pulldown, RNP reconstitution IVT (length-flexible) PAGE/HPLC as needed; RNase-free handling
Cell-free & synbio 0.5–3 kb In-vitro translation, RNA scaffolds IVT Gel/Bioanalyzer; optional polishing by HPLC/PAGE

Note: Chemical feasibility above ~120 nt is sequence-dependent; yields decrease with length and secondary structure.

RNA Purification — Add-On Pricing

Typical as-synthesized purity for unmodified ssRNA ≤35 nt is ~80–85% (sequence-dependent). We recommend HPLC or PAGE purification when RNA oligos are:

  • Longer than ~40–50 nt
  • Modified internally or at the 3′ end
  • Dually labeled (e.g., dye/quencher, dual dyes)
  • Intended for sensitive assays or in vivo use

FAQ

Which purification should I choose for RNA?

For short screening oligos, Desalt/Cartridge may suffice. For long or modified RNA, choose RP-HPLC or PAGE; use IEX for charge-based separation of PS-rich or longer constructs.

Can you help with siRNA stabilization patterns?

Yes. We advise on 2′-OMe/2′-F/LNA placement, terminal PS, and overhang design to balance activity and stability.

Do you support GLP/cGMP production?

Yes. We support RUO, GLP, and cGMP with appropriate QA oversight, documentation, and release testing options.

Do you provide RNA in plates with barcodes?

Yes — 96/384-well plates, lyophilized or in buffer, barcoded and mapped for automation.

What QC is standard?

LC-MS identity (where applicable) and analytical HPLC purity. Optional CE, endotoxin, bioburden, and stability programs.
