Article

Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional ion-pair reversed phase liquid chromatography (IP-RPLC) methods for separating oligonucleotides (ON). This work investigates the application of HILIC to the separation of ON sequence and length variants, duplexes, and single-stranded components.
