    DNAPac PA200 Document No. 065036 Page 4 of 25 SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION 1.1 DNAPac PA200 The DNAPac PA200 is a pellicular anion exchange column designed specifically to provide high-resolution separations of single stranded nucleic acids. The DNAPac PA200 provides n, n-1 resolution over a wide range of oligomer lengths and can perform separations under a variety of denaturing conditions: •...
  • Page 5: Guard Column Use

    Assistance is available for any problem that may be encountered during the shipment or operation of DIONEX instrumentation and columns through the DIONEX North America Technical Call Center at 1- 800-DIONEX-0 (1-800-346-6390) or through any of the DIONEX offices listed in “DIONEX Worldwide...
  • Page 6: Section 2 - Operation And System Requirements

    Oligonucleotide separations with the DNAPac PA200 columns are optimized for use with NON-METALLIC systems, such as the Dionex BioLC. The key issue is that the eluent flow path from reservoir to detector is metal- free, because the salts used for oligonucleotide elution attack the metallic components of metallic pumps and tubing.

  • Page 8: Section 3 - Purity Requirements For Chemicals

    These “ultra high” purity solvents will usually be of sufficient purity to ensure that your chromatography is not affected by ionic impurities in the solvent. At Dionex, we have obtained consistent results using High Purity Solvents manufactured by Burdick and Jackson or Optima Solvents by Fischer Scientific.

    DNAPac PA200 Document No. 065036 Page 9 of 25 SECTION 4 - QUALITY ASSURANCE The chromatograms in this section were obtained using a calibrated system that meets the operational parameters listed in Section 2. Different systems will differ slightly in performance due to slight variations in column sets, system void volumes, liquid sweep-out times, different component volumes, and laboratory temperature.

    DNAPac PA200 Document No. 065036 Page 10 of 25 4.2 Production Test Chromatograms To guarantee that all DNAPac PA200 analytical columns meet high quality and reproducible performance specification standards, all columns undergo the following production control test. Because gradient separation is not an accurate test for determining column capacity and packing quality, an isocratic separation of seven inorganic anions is employed to measure individual column performance utilizing a sodium carbonate, bicarbonate eluent.

  • Page 12: Gradient Slope

    DNAPac PA200 Document No. 065036 Page 12 of 25 5.4 Gradient slope Phosphodiester oligonucleotides generally exhibit good peak shape when the gradient slope is ~15 mM/mL (NaCl) or ~5 mM/mL (NaClO ). Higher values will generally result in shorter run times, but result in poorer resolution. Conversely lower values may produce improved resolution, but also require longer run times.

    DNAPac PA200 Document No. 065036 Page 13 of 25 5.5.2 Effect of pH on Retention The next chart illustrates the influence of pH on oligonucleotide retention. An oligonucleotide with base composition of G was eluted with a gradient of NaCl over 30 minutes at pH 6.5 to 12. Between pH 9 and 11, a substantial increase in retention is observed.

    DNAPac PA200 Document No. 065036 Page 14 of 25 5.5.4 Effect of pH on Selectivity The figure below illustrates the influence of pH on oligonucleotide selectivity. Here the elution patterns of two 23-base oligonucleotides differing only in their 5’ and 3’ terminal bases are compared between pH 9 and pH The top trace for each pair of chromatograms has an additional T at the 5’...
  • Page 15: Effect Of Temperature On Oligonucleotide Retention

    Elevated temperature is often used to limit or eliminate Watson-Crick, and poly-G hydrogen bonding within, and between oligonucleotides that have self-complementary sequences. NOTE: Dionex does NOT recommend combining the use of elevated temperatures with high pH elution systems. Such conditions will accelerate degradation of the DNAPac PA200 stationary phase.

These examples consist of mixed-base oligonucleotide (ODN) 25 mers with identical sequence except for the 3’...

However, all of the ODNs with 3’ base substitutions are again resolved, and those with 5’...

    DNAPac PA200 Document No. 065036 Page 19 of 25 SECTION 6 - APPLICATIONS 6.1 Denaturing Conditions for Control of Secondary Structure Single-stranded nucleic acids may contain inter-, and/or intra-, strand hydrogen bonding. Such interactions, if sufficiently strong, result in spurious peaks and a general inability to distinguish between the oligonucleotide components in the sample.

    Metal fouling can cause increased backpressure, loss of efficiency, and changes in selectivity on DNAPac columns. To eliminate metal fouling, Dionex strongly recommends the use of inert “PEEK-based” pumping systems (e.g., Dionex GP50), PEEK tubing, and connected fittings. 8.3 Decreasing Peak Retention Times Eluent contaminants may be decreasing the capacity of the column.
