Oligonucleotide Analytical

Analytical characterization plays an important role in ensuring product integrity and manufacturing consistency, which are essential for demonstrating safety and efficacy to the FDA and other regulatory authorities. However, the unique charge and polymeric structure of oligonucleotides makes the analytical characterization particularly challenging. Selection of appropriate analytical techniques depends on the molecule size, higher order structure and chemical composition/modifications. Our Pace Life Sciences Boston, MA development site uses a suite of analytical methods to assess the physicochemical and biophysical properties of oligonucleotides, including mass spectrometry-based techniques, chromatographic techniques, electrophoresis, particulates analysis and hybrid techniques, as summarized in the following table.
