Metkinen Universal Solid Support
The universal support strategy offers the following
clear advantages: eliminates the possibility
of errors in parallel synthesis applications where
up to 384 wells may contain different supports;
eliminates the need for at least four supports for
DNA synthesis and four for RNA synthesis;
simplifies the preparation of oligonucleotides
with modified or unusual nucleosides at the
3-terminus.
Like our initial version of Universal Solid supports
- USII, the new type of supports - Metkinen
Universal Solid Support would be appropriate
for the production of DNA oligos,
long and short, as well as those requiring mild
deprotection. It is compatible with the synthesis
of RNA, (including siRNA) as well as virtually
any oligonucleotide analogs (2-F-RNA,
2-OMe-RNA, LNA, oligonucleotide N3→P5
phosphoramidates, etc.). The reagent used for the
cleavage/dephosphorylation step is commercially
available and the procedures described are fully
compatible with high-throughput Synthesis.
The difference lies in the higher stability of
Metkinen Universal Solid Support than that
of USII upon prolong storage. In addition, the
preparation of the new support appears to be
more consistent and reliable.
Metkinen Universal Solid Support is subject to
proprietary rights of Glen Research Corporation
and is synthesized and sold under the following
licensed patents: US Patent No.: 6,770,754
and European Patent No.: 1404695. The new
carbomoylation chemistry, resulting in the
stable urea fragment, bridging the Universal
linker and aminoalkylated solid phase, is subject
to proprietary rights of Metkinen Chemistry
(U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 60/854,721;
International Patent Application No. PCT/
FI2007/050575).

Metkinen Universal Solid Support for synthesis
of DNA, RNA & any type of modified oligonucleotides.
Catalogue number: 103-00
Description: Chemically modified Macropourous
Aminomethyl polystyrene. White to
off-white powder.
Storage of dry compound: 1 year at +20ēC
Loading: 20-80 µmol/g g loadings is available.
Please enquire for custom loading.
Oligo synthesis on USIII: Perform oligonucleotide
assembly, using standard protocols, recommended
by your synthesizer manufacturer. Upon
the completion of synthesis wash the oligonucleotide
bound support with pure acetonitrile. Do
not perform any washing steps with solvents,
containing basic reagents (diethylamine, triethylamine,
dimethylamine, etc.) and water!
Cleavage: Cleave the oligo from the support
using 3.5N - 4.5N ammonia in methanol (dilute
cold 7N ammonia in methanol, Aldrich Cat. No
499145-100ML, with cold anhydrous methanol)
at room temperature for 30 minutes. Do
not use aqueous ammonium hydroxide and/or
mixtures of ammonium hydroxide and methanol
for cleavage!
Deprotection AFTER Cleavage:
Standard: After Cleavage, add 1 volume of 3.5N
- 4.5N ammonia in methanol, seal and deprotect
for 8-15 hours at 60 °C for removal of the
protecting groups on the nucleobases.
or
Alternatively: add 1 volume of 30% ammonium
hydroxide, seal and deprotect using the conditions
appropriate for removal of the protecting
groups on the nucleobases (e.g. at 55 °C for 5 hours).
