The concentration of oligonucleotide seems much lower than you will ultimately need for biophysical work. Annealing two strands is a bimolecular reaction and it will be driven by mass action more to completion at higher total oligonucleotide concentrations. I also agree with the posts that hav

Hi Weifei, so... what I do is to mix them in a 1:1ish ratio, then I check that ratio on the HPLC in case I can adjust it to 1:1. I.e. Instead of mixing 30 nmol of RNA with 30 of DNA if I want a 1:1 ratio complex, I mix 30 of RNA and 25 of DNA. I calculate their molar extinction coefficient (epsilo

Hi Weifei, We use SSC buffer for annealing oligos (we use DNA). That works pretty fine with us. Give a try. Composition is in below URL http://www.bioprotocols.info/reagent_and_buffer_recipes/20x-SSC.php Good Luck, Venkatareddy. On Fri, Jul 3, 2015 at 8:44 PM, ChenWeiFei wrote: > Dear all, >
