What kind of documentation do I get with my antisense/PTO?
The label on the antisense/PTO tube shows basic information like oligo name, name of person who ordered, antisense oligo sequence including modifications, oligo ID, amount of DNA (OD260 and nmol), Tm, and molecular weight.
In addition, you will receive a synthesis report containing more detailed information on the physical-chemical properties of the oligo, such as base composition, base count, purification grade, amount of DNA in nmol, Tm and molecular weight. Antisense DNA/PTOs are HPLC purified by default and you will also get a printout of the preparative chromatogram.
While each and every oligo produced and delivered is characterized by either MALDI- or ESI-ToF before release, Mass-Check documentation/spectra will only be provided if requested at time of order placement. Additional charges apply.
The following terminology is used for differentiating between offered QC options including respective documentation coverage in our order forms and on supporting documents delivered with the products:
Mass Check
Standard quality control performed on each and every oligo. Either MALDI- or
ESI-ToF, subject to the "nature of the oligo", and metabion internal
procedures. This service is free of charge and no printout/PDF documentation is
provided.
MALDI-ToF
Explicitly ordered and performed MALDI-ToF check. Product delivered with
MALDI-ToF spectra. Additional charges apply.
ESI-ToF
Explicitly ordered and performed ESI-ToF check. Product delivered with ESI-ToF spectra. Additional charges apply.
