Column for DNA/RNA separation and purification "Presep® DNA/RNA"
Presep® DNA/RNA columns are solid-phase extraction columns suitable for the separation and purification of nucleic acids. Type A columns are mini-columns filled with a silica-based separating agent in a barrel-shaped syringe, which can be used for solid-phase extraction in reversed-phase systems.
Features
- Achieves a high sample load
- Enables a sample load 3 to 5 times higher than commercially available pretreatment columns
- Excellent deprotection efficiency
- Enables purification with a high level of purity and high recovery rate

Cartridge Column vs Recovery of oligonucleotide [%]

achieves high recovery.
Wako ≒ B > A > C
- Oligonucleotide samples were purified using the protocol recommended by each company.
- Oligonucleotide concentration was measured with an absorbance meter.
- Recovery was calculated as "oligonucleotide concentration in the eluate/oligonucleotide concentration before loading".

Sample Load vs Recovery of oligonucleotide [%]

Our product is engineered with a carrier pore size optimized for medium-sized molecules, enabling them to retain oligonucleotides 2-5 times more efficiently than products from other manufacturers. This enhanced retention significantly reduces the number of purification cycles required as well as the volume of solvent used.
3. DMT Group Deprotection Efficiency

FUJIFILM Wako > C
Our product is engineered with a carrier pore size optimized for medium-sized molecules, enabling them to retain oligonucleotides 2-5 times more efficiently than products from other manufacturers. This enhanced retention significantly reduces the number of purification cycles required as well as the volume of solvent used.Comparative testing against product C from another company confirmed that no DMT-ON impurities remain in our product. This is because the non-swelling nature of the silica gel enhances the efficiency of the DMT group deprotection reaction.
