**RPC purification allows one to obtain hight quantities of purified oligos and will provide the necessary purity level (85-90%) for most hight resolution applications. This purification is available for oligos up to 60 mers.

RP-HPLC purification provides a very pure product with the highest yields. It is advisable to use RP-HPLC purification for oligos ranging from 35 mers to 60 mers. RP-HPLC allows one to reach a purity of approximately 90-98%. For longer oligos the purity level is greatly decreased.

PAGE purification is recommended for oligos from 35 bases up to 100 bases. Although yields can be very low (1 OD range), the level of purity can reach 98% for short oligos, and average 90% for very long oligos.
