Are you looking to analyse and characterise your oligonucleotides and antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs)?

Why analyse and characterise your oligonucleotides and antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs)?

The analysis and characterisation of oligonucleotides and ASOs are crucial steps in guaranteeing their quality, therapeutic efficacy and safety for clinical use. These synthetic molecules, designed to specifically target RNA sequences, are used in gene therapies and interventions for genetic diseases. Their development requires an in-depth understanding of their structure and physico-chemical properties.

What is oligonucleotide and antisense oligonucleotide analysis (ASO)?

The characterization of oligonucleotides includes sequence, purity and stability analyses. It also involves identifying impurities linked to synthesis and degradation, and validating chemical modifications (such as phosphorothioates or sugar modifications) that increase the stability of ASOs in biological environments.

Particular attention is being paid to stability and enzymatic degradation, two key factors in the efficacy of ASOs under biological conditions.
