RNA Oligonucleotides

All single-stranded and duplexed RNA sequences are produced using proprietary technology that delivers high quality RNA. Our specialized synthesis platforms allow us to produce the custom high-fidelity guides for CRISPR, duplexes for RNAi, template switching oligos for NGS, microRNAs, aptamers, and custom RNA oligos for other applications.

Product Details

 

RNA oligos are short, single- or double-stranded synthetic RNA sequences that can be used in nearly any RNA­ specific molecular biology application. Using the Oligo Entry ordering tool, you can design your sequences to contain unmodified RNA bases, 2'-O-methyl RNA bases, or chimeric DNA bases. You can select from hundreds of modifications to suit your specific research needs. (2'-O-methyl RNA is a useful RNA analog that is resistant to degradation by single-stranded ribonucleases. Every RNA Oligo you receive is deprotected and desalted to remove small molecule impurities. In addition, your oligos will be quality controlled using ESI mass spectrometry* and quantified by UV spectrophotometry to provide yield measurements.

* With the exception of mixed base oligos, which could potentially represent multiple sequences and therefore cannot be accurately evaluated by ESI mass spectrometry.

Using the RNA Oligo Entry tool

  • To enter individual RNA bases, insert "r" before the base (rA, rU, rC, rG)
  • To enter individual 2′-O-Methyl RNA bases, insert "m" before the base (mA, mU, mC, mG)
  • To quickly convert an entire oligo to RNA, enter your sequence as DNA using A, T, C, G and then click “Convert to “RNA”. All bases in your sequence will be converted to RNA (rA, rU, rC, rG)

Quality

IDT's reputation as a pioneer in custom oligo manufacturing is largely due to our vertically integrated proprietary synthesis platforms. Nearly every component of our manufacturing process is designed and developed in-house, including specialized synthesizers that can accommodate the most demanding oligo requests, and high-throughput automation. We rarely rely on third-party manufacturers for any of the machines or chemical reagents used for synthesis, allowing us to easily monitor and refine instruments and reagents. Our ability to control these variables allows us to produce high-quality oligos.

The inherent structure of RNA makes it more difficult to manufacture than DNA. However, our proprietary nucleic acid synthesis technology allows us to obtain high coupling efficiencies, meaning you will receive RNA oligos with the yield and purity that your project needs.

Services

The following services represent our most common offerings. If your project requires a service not listed here, contact us and we will work with you to accommodate your request.

Purification

For more demanding RNA applications, additional purification by RNase-Free HPLC purification is needed. Most purified oligos up to 60 bases receive a purity guarantee* following quality control by capillary electrophoresis or analytical HPLC. Learn more »
