Rapid. Reliable. Secure

Oligonucleotide Stability Studies

ICH Q1A(R2)‑aligned programs for DNA/RNA, ASO, siRNA, and sgRNA — including accelerated, intermediate, and long‑term studies, stress testing, and sodium content trending with stability‑indicating methods.

ISO 9001: 2105 ISO 13485: 2016 ICH Q1 (R2) Methods GLP/cGMP Aligned

Overview

We design and execute ICH Q1A(R2)‑aligned stability programs for DNA/RNA, ASO, siRNA, and sgRNA. Studies include accelerated, intermediate, and long‑term storage, with photostability and freeze‑thaw as needed—plus trending plots and a final stability summary.

Pull schedules and attributes are tailored to your formulation and intended use, with optional sodium content trending across pulls.

At-a-Glance

  • Programs: 40 °C/75% RH (Accelerated), 30 °C/65% RH (Intermediate), 5–25 °C (Long‑term)
  • Pulls: Typical 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months (customizable)
  • Stability‑indicating: HPLC/CE/IEX + LC–MS identity
  • Residuals: GC (solvents), ICP‑MS (metals)
  • Sodium content: IC or flame photometry (trended)
  • Deliverables: Protocol, pulls, chromatograms/spectra, trending tables/plots, final report

Study Types

  • Accelerated: 40 °C / 75% RH
  • Intermediate: 30 °C / 65% RH
  • Long‑term: 5–25 °C as appropriate
  • Photostability (per ICH), Freeze‑thaw cycling
  • Stress studies: pH, heat, nuclease exposure

Pull Schedules & Sampling

  • Custom pull points (e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3, 6 months; extended as needed)
  • Aliquoting strategy to minimize freeze‑thaw events
  • Chain‑of‑custody, storage, and environmental monitoring included
  • Interim and final data packages with trending plots

Stability‑Indicating Methods

  • Identity: LC–MS (ESI) or MALDI–TOF; optional enzymatic digest mapping
  • Purity / Impurities: RP‑/IP‑RP‑HPLC, CE; IEX for charge variants; track shortmers, depurination, conjugate loss
  • Residuals: GC for solvents, ICP‑MS for elemental impurities
  • Sodium content: Ion chromatography or flame photometry — trended across pulls
  • General attributes: Karl Fischer water, pH, appearance; endotoxin/bioburden as required

Instrumentation & Options

  • HPLC/UPLC with UV and/or MS detection; CE; IEX
  • LC–MS / MALDI for intact mass; LC‑MS/MS for sequence mapping
  • GC with headspace for volatiles; ICP‑MS for metals
  • KF titration for moisture; pH and osmolality as needed
  • Optional sterility/microbial testing for aseptic programs

Sample Requirements

  • Typical minimum per condition/pull: ≥ 200 µg (method‑dependent)
  • Dry or buffered format; include sequence length, chemistry, purification, concentration
  • Shipping: ambient for DNA; cold chain recommended for RNA/ASO; insulated packaging

FAQ

Which conditions do you support?

Accelerated (40 °C/75% RH), Intermediate (30 °C/65% RH), Long‑term (5–25 °C), plus photostability, freeze‑thaw, and stress studies.

Can you trend sodium content?

Yes. Sodium content can be trended by ion chromatography or flame photometry. We report values at each pull with limits you define.

What are typical deliverables?

Protocol, pull schedule, methods, chromatograms/spectra, impurity profiling, attribute trending tables/plots, and a final stability summary.

What sample amount is required?

Most studies run with ≥ 200 µg per condition/pull (method‑dependent). Complex panels or replicate runs may require more.
