The
use of alkylamine ion pair and perfluorinated alcohols in the analysis of
oligonucleotides by LC-MS techniques has been the mainstay in characterisation
and quantitation methods for synthetic oligonucleotides for decades. Often,
analytical chemists default to relatively high concentrations of both, but how
much ion pair is needed for optimal chromatographic performance and how much
does perfluorinated alcohol concentration contribute to electrospray ionisation
efficiency?
In
this on-demand, we provide an overview of nucleic acid therapeutics and discuss
the chromatographic challenges associated with oligonucleotides. We also
explore modulation of the mobile phase additives alkylamine ion pair and
perfluorinated alcohols. Finally, we will show how optimisation of mobile phase
can improve not only chromatographic performance and MS sensitivity, but may
also directly impact MS data acquisition, thus facilitating data analysis.
