フローラスタグを施したオリゴ核酸はフローラス固相サポートに対し高い親和性を示します。 この性質は、オリゴ核酸の精製効率を飛躍的に向上させる様々な製品に応用されています。 この高性能な精製技術は、50-100merの長鎖(ロング)オリゴの精製において、通常70-100%の回収率を得る事ができるほど、特に優れた効果を発揮します。 フローラス法を適応させた"CPR II"は、遺伝子解析で使う5'-リン酸化ロングオリゴの簡易精製にも使用できます。
DNA診断法では、diagnostics, the most common
approach to the detection of a small amount of target is amplification
of the target sequence. However, an alternative approach does exist -direct
analysis of the target DNA by signal amplification. This technique requires
the synthetic oligonucleotide to contain a primary sequence of interest
complementary to the target attached to many identical copies of a secondary
sequence to be used for detection. It is the detection of the many copies
of the secondary sequence that serves to amplify the signal. The resulting
branched oligonucleotide has been aptly described as comb-like, with the
primary sequence in the handle and the secondary sequences being the teeth
of the comb. The branches in the synthetic oligonucleotide are created
using dC-Brancher Phosphoramidite.

A second sulfurizing reagent has been added
to our product line to complement our existing Sulfurizing Reagent (Beaucage
Reagent). Sulfurizing Reagent II is stable in solution and is offered
both in powder form and as a solution for use in popular commercial synthesizers.
In addition to good performance in the synthesis of DNA phosphorothioates,
Sulfurizing Reagent II demonstrates superior performance in the production
of RNA phosphorothioates.
Two new products for the synthesis
of oligonucleotides allow the preparation of hybridization probes with
increased affinity for complementary sequences. Both are phosphoramidites
that can be readily introduced at the 5' terminus via automated DNA synthesis.
These oligonucleotide caps favor the formation of stable Watson-Crick
duplexes by stacking on the terminal base pair. Melting point increases
of over 10 °C per modification can be realized for short duplexes.
AP-dC (G-clamp) is a very important
addition to the modified nucleosides that enhance hybridization since
the AP-C....G base pair contains 4 hydrogen bonds, which makes the interaction
much stronger than the regular C....G base pair with its 3 hydrogen bonds.
The AP-dC modified base is also stable to conditions of oligonucleotide
synthesis and deprotection. We envisage applications for G-clamp in the
development of short, easily prepared oligonucleotides for use in highly
specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and other in vitro diagnostic
assays.
