FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our service.

We offer 200+ modification options across four main categories: sugar modifications (2'-OMe, 2'-F, 2'-MOE, LNA, cEt), base modifications (m6A, m5C, pseudouridine, m1Ψ, inosine, s²U), backbone modifications (phosphorothioate), and fluorescent labels (FAM, Cy3, Cy5, BHQ, biotin). Modifications can be placed at 5', 3', or internal positions.
Every modified RNA undergoes ESI-MS mass spectrometry verification. Since each chemical modification results in a specific mass shift, MS is the definitive method to confirm that the correct number and type of modifications were incorporated at the specified positions. HPLC purity analysis further confirms the full-length product.
Yes, we routinely synthesize complex RNA that combines different chemistries — for example, phosphorothioate backbone modifications for stability, 2'-OMe at the 5' end for exonuclease resistance, and a fluorophore at the 3' end, all in a single molecule. Our expert consultation helps you optimize the design for synthesis success.
LNA (Locked Nucleic Acid) locks the ribose ring in a 3'-endo conformation. This significantly increases the thermal stability (Tm) of the RNA when hybridized to complementary DNA or RNA, leading to superior binding affinity (up to 8°C per base) and enhanced nuclease resistance. It's particularly valuable for ASO and diagnostic probe applications.
For long mRNA (over 200 nt), chemical synthesis is impractical. We offer a specialized Modified IVT Service that incorporates modified nucleosides such as pseudouridine and N1-methylpseudouridine during in vitro transcription. This enhances mRNA translational efficiency and reduces immunogenicity, as demonstrated in approved mRNA therapeutics.
HPLC purification is standard for all modified RNA orders. For complex sequences with multiple or closely-spaced modifications, we offer dual HPLC + PAGE purification. The mandatory HPLC step isolates the full-length product and removes truncated synthesis byproducts, which is critical for sensitive functional assays and therapeutic applications.
