Revolutionizing CRISPR Applications: High-Resolution sgRNA Analysis

Ensuring the quality of single guide RNA (sgRNA) is a major hurdle in CRISPR-Cas genome editing. Because these molecules are large (~100mer) and prone to complex secondary structures, separating them from nearly identical impurities requires precision.

Our latest application note demonstrates how the YMC Accura Triart Bio C18 column overcomes these challenges.

Key Breakthroughs in sgRNA Analysis:

►Exceptional Resolution: Successfully separates full-length sgRNA from closely related truncation impurities, such as n-1, n-2, and n-5 species.

►Bioinert Hardware: The specialized YMC Accura hardware minimizes non-specific adsorption to metal surfaces, ensuring high recovery and zero detectable carry-over.

►Widepore Efficiency: The 30 nm (300 Å) stationary phase is optimized for large oligonucleotides, providing superior mass transfer and peak shape.

►Sensitivity: Maintains consistent resolution and reliable performance even at low concentrations (down to 0.02 mg/mL).

Whether you are monitoring sequence fidelity or assessing the purity of modified sgRNA, this method provides a robust, reproducible solution for your CRISPR workflow.

Making Peptide Purification Green without Forfeiting Productivity.

While green solvents like ethanol and DMC are better for the planet, they typically suffer from lower chromatographic resolution in traditional setups. This has resulted in a trade-off of choosing sustainability, or choosing high yield. The whitepaper Counter-Current Chromatography Enables Use of Green Solvents for Productive Peptide Purification Processes shows how using Multi-column Counter-current Solvent Gradient Purification (MCSGP) can overcome the inefficiencies of eco-friendly mobile phases.

Happy Retirement, John!

Today, we are celebrating John Heffernan, who is officially stepping into retirement after 16 years with YMC America. John’s journey with us actually began back when we were known as Integrated Process Technologies, long before we transitioned to YMC America. Over the years, John has worn many hats, from Project Manager to Estimating Manager, Engineering Manager, and ultimately Director of Business Development.
