Bio-Synthesis offers Spacer 18 PEG oligonucleotide modification at various scales. PEG spacer 18 is a hexaethylene glycol chain having 18 atoms long (12 carbons and 6 oxygens). Spacer 18 can be incorporated at the 5'-end or 3'-end of an oligo or internally. Multiple insertions can be used to create long spacer arms.

Spacer 18 has been used to form bold folds and hairpin loops in oligonucleotides1,2, and for solid-phase immobilization of hybridization probes3. Spacer 18 has also been used to modify random primers used in whole genome amplification (WGA)-based applications, as a way to eliminate self-priming events that form spurious DNA products (that is, false-positive amplification) in the PCR reactions4.

Purification:

Spacer modified oligonucleotide can be accomplished by various methods. Desalting or cartridge purification is acceptable ,however, additional purification by HPLC is strongly recommended.

Price:

Price/modification. 10% discount for more than two spacer modifications.
