• DNAPac RP is a polymer based reversed phase column

• DNAPac RP provides high resolution separation of single-stranded oligonucleotides

• LC/MS analysis of oligonucleotides can be achieved by using DNAPacRP column coupled with Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap™ Mass Spectrometer

• Wide-pore size of DNAPac RP column provides high resolution

Summary

50

• Wide-pore size of DNAPac RP column provides high resolution separation of large double-stranded DNA/RNA fragments

• DNAPac RP can be used with high pH mobile phase and at high temperature which often provides alternative selectivity and higher resolution for more challenging samples

• DNAPac RP has minimal lot-to-lot variability
