This document describes a method for synthesizing a primer test sequence using Varian's StratoSpheres DNA dT support
The document details the preparation of oligonucleotides for PCR applications. The synthesis was performed on an Applied Biosystems 392 DNA/RNA Synthesizer using standard chemistry, followed by cleavage with ammonium hydroxide and deprotection at 55 °C overnight.
Following synthesis, HPLC analysis was conducted to evaluate the performance of the StratoSpheres DNA dT support. The analysis utilized a Pellicular SAX column with a specific gradient of Tris-HCl and Ammonium Chloride, detecting results at UV 260 nm.
The document uses a 20-mer test sequence with the sequence 5' ATA CCG ATT AAG CGA AGT TT 3'.
Deprotection is accomplished by heating to 55 °C overnight.
The specified flow rate for the analysis is 1.5 mL/min.
