Product Breadth of Proligo Reagents


In solid-phase synthesis of oligonucleotides, liquid reagents are used in each step of the synthesis cycle. Overall synthesis performance, and therefore total product yield and purity of the crude oligonucleotide, is highly dependent on the chemical purity of the monomers and the supporting liquid reagents.
SAFC Proligo Reagents has more than 20 years of manufacturing experience in DNA and RNA synthesis reagents. Our liquid reagents meet the most stringent quality specifications, making them ideal for use in automated nucleic acid synthesis. Lot-to-lot consistency is guaranteed for every product manufactured in our ISO 9001 certified site. Each lot is individually quality-controlled to ensure optimum synthesis performance.

For TAC-protected G-amidites (dG(tac) phoshoramidite, rG(tac) phosphoramidite) Fast Deprotection Cap A must be employed to prevent transacylation side reactions on the guanine base.

Chemical Composition and Purpose of Proligo Reagents’ Liquid Reagents
During the Synthesis Cycle


Deblock solution, containing trichloracetic acid (TCA) or dichloroacetic acid (DCA) in dichloromethane, removes the dimethoxytrityl (DMT) protecting group from the 5’ hydroxyl moiety of nucleotides already incorporated into the growing nucleic acid, prior to the addition of the next phosphoramidite. Removal of the DMT allows the unprotected 5’ hydroxyl moiety to react with a new phosphoramidite in a subsequent extension reaction.


Wash solution, containing anhydrous acetonitrile (water content ≤ 30ppm), is used as the overall wash solvent following each step in the synthesis cycle.


Activator solution, containing powerful activators like 4,5-dicyanoimidazole (DCI) or 5-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-tetrazole (Activator 42™) in acetonitrile, are mixed with solutions of phosphoramidites during the extension step. The activator reacts with the amidite group to form a highly reactive intermediate. The intermediate then forms an internucleotide bond with the detritylated 5’-hydroxyl group of the growing oligonucleotide chain.


Cap A solution, containing acetic anhydride and tetrahydrofuran (THF), is used after the phosphoramidite reaction/coupling step. This solution aborts chains bearing unreacted 5’hydroxyl groups due to failure of reaction with activated phosphoramidite (typically, 1 to 2% of growing oligonucleotide chains in each synthesis cycle). These unreacted 5’hydroxyl groups are capped with an acetyl group and thus rendered unreactive for subsequent synthesis steps. For synthesis with Proligo Reagents’® TAC-protected phosphoramidites, Fast Deprotection CAP A solution must be employed instead of Cap A solution.


Fast Deprotection Cap A solution, must be used for synthesis with Proligo Reagents’® TAC-protected phosphoramidites. Fast Deprotection Cap A solution, containing tertbutylphenoxyacetyl acetic anhydride (tac2O) in tetrahydrofuran, is used in place of Cap A solution to ensure that the displacement of tert-butylphenoxyacetyl (TAC) on guanine bases of the TAC-protected RNA phosphoramidites does not occur.


Cap B solution, containing tetrahydrofuran (THF), pyridine and N-methylimidazole (NMI), is mixed in-situ with Cap A solution during the capping (acetylation) reaction. Pyridine is applied as a mild base while NMI provides a powerful acylation catalyst.


Oxidizer solution, containing tetrahydrofuran (THF), pyridine, iodine and water, is applied to oxidise the chemically unstable trivalent phosphorous triester linkage formed in the coupling reaction to a stable pentavalent phosphate triester. Iodine functions as a mild oxidant and water functions as an oxygen donor.
