OliPure HIC Purification Kit


The OliPure HIC Purification Kit is a rapid, single-spin solution for purifying DNA and RNA oligonucleotides synthesized with the Kilobaser one and one-XT systems. Utilizing hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) with phenyl-modified agarose columns, it efficiently removes unbound dyes, salts, and other small molecule impurities in under 10 minutes.

Key Features

  • Fast Purification: Achieves oligonucleotide purification in less than 10 minutes.

  • High Recovery Rate: Approximately 75% recovery of purified oligonucleotides.

  • Sample Volume Range: Suitable for volumes between 20–120 μL.

  • Optimized for Short Oligos: Effective for oligonucleotides as short as 12 nucleotides.
  • Single-Use Kit: Each kit contains 10 purification columns.

How It Works

The HIC columns are packed with phenyl-modified agarose, which selectively retains hydrophobic impurities:

  • Unbound Fluorescent Dyes: Aromatic dyes like FAM and HEX bind to phenyl groups via π-π stacking interactions, effectively removing them from the sample.

  • Salts and Small Molecules: These enter the agarose pores and are retained, while larger oligonucleotides pass through unimpeded.​

This method ensures that labeled oligonucleotides are not retained by the column and are recovered efficiently.​

Applications

Ideal for:​

  • Purifying probes post-synthesis.​

  • Desalting oligonucleotides after synthesis.​

  • Removing unbound dyes following fluorescent labeling.​

  • Eliminating phenol residues after phenol-chloroform extraction.​
