Minimum Yield Guarantess

Non-Modified RNA Oligos (O.D./µg)*
Scale (µmole) Desalt HPLC PAGE
0.05 5/150 1/30 0.5/15
0.2 12/360 2.5/75 1/30
1.0 40/1,200 13/390 5/150

* Guarantee is for oligos 20 bases or longer, shorter oligos may have fewer ODs. Phosphorothioated yields are 70% of the above stated values.
