Catalog Number: 20-5910-xx

Description: 3'-TAMRA CPG

1-Dimethoxytrityloxy-3-[O-(N-carboxy-(Tetramethyl-rhodamine)-
3-aminopropyl)]-propyl-2-O-succinoyl-long chain alkylamino-CPG
F.W.: 623.60

Diluent: Not Applicable
Coupling: Monomers that allow for UltraMILD deprotection must be used. (dA: 10-1601-xx, dC: 10-1015-xx, dG: 10-1621-xx, dT: 10-1030-xx ). To avoid any exchange of the iPr-Pac group on the dG with acetyl, use the UltraMild Cap Mix A (40-4210-xx/ 40-4212-xx).
Deprotection: UltraMILD deprotection: 0.05M Potassium Carbonate in Methanol, 4 hours at Room Temperature. See Technical Bulletin for details (www.glenresearch.com/Technical/TB_UltraMild_Deprotection.pdf).Note: A side reaction can occur that leads to a loss of the TAMRA label. Treatment of the support prior to cleavage/deprotection with a hindered base, such as 10% diethylamine in ACN, for 3-5 minutes will minimize the loss of label.
Storage: Freezer storage, -10 to -30°C, dry. Light sensitive material.
Stability in Solution: Not Applicable

QUESTION: What are the relative extinction coefficients of various dyes?

QUESTION: Does AMA or methylamine cause any degradation to fluorescein or fluorescein-type dyes such as FAM or FITC?

RESPONSE:Response: While AMA (Ammonium hydroxide/40% Methylamine 1:1 v/v) is considered compatible with fluorescein, the use of methylamine when deprotecting a Fluorescein-labeled oligo does lead to a small amount of degradation, which is characterized by a the appearance of a late-eluting peak by RP HPLC that shows no visible fluorescein absorbance. With standard deprotection conditions (AMA 10 minutes at 65 C) the amount of degradation is approximately 5%. The impurity is not detected with AMA at RT for 2 hours.
