IDT Ultramer DNA and RNA Oligonucleotides

Feb 22, 2017

IDT has launched its Ultramer DNA and RNA oligonucleotides. The Ultramer DNA oligos are 45 to 200 nucleotides in length, available in single- or double-stranded format, and are provided deprotected and desalted. The Ultramer RNA oligos are long, single-stranded RNA of 60 to 120 nucleotides. Each oligo is assessed by mass spectrometry to verify sequence integrity using IDT's proprietary electrospray ionization method, the company said.
