Product Name Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA)-Enhanced qPCR Probe Synthesis Service
Catalog No. PRIPRO-0027
Description A custom probe synthesis service incorporating locked nucleic acid nucleotides into hydrolysis probe sequences for enhanced thermal stability and target discrimination. LNA modifications contain a methylene bridge locking the ribose ring into a C3′-endo conformation, pre-organizing the base for hybridization and increasing the melting temperature by 2–8 °C per LNA substitution. LNA-enhanced probes enable shorter probe designs for discriminating single nucleotide polymorphisms and mutations.
Intended Use High-specificity qPCR target detection with enhanced single nucleotide discrimination using LNA-modified hydrolysis probes.
Principle / Technology LNA-mediated probe duplex stabilization enabling short probe designs with high melting temperatures for allele discrimination
Detection Method Real-time fluorescence detection on qPCR platforms
Sample Type Genomic DNA samples for SNP genotyping, somatic mutation detection, and pathogen strain identification
Performance Range / Specifications Probe length: 8–15 nucleotides with 2–6 LNA substitutions; dual-labeled with FAM/BHQ1, HEX/BHQ1, or CY5/BHQ2; purification: HPLC
Sensitivity / LOD Allele discrimination ΔCt ≥10 cycles between matched and mismatched templates
Specificity Single LNA substitution at SNP site increases mismatch discrimination by ≥5 °C compared to DNA-only probe
Reaction Conditions / Protocol Design probe with LNA nucleotide at the polymorphic site; Tm calculation requires LNA-adjusted thermodynamic parameters; HPLC purification removes unincorporated dye
Components / Formulation LNA-modified oligonucleotide probe, HPLC purified, dual-labeled with 5′-fluorophore and 3′-quencher; MALDI-TOF mass confirmation and HPLC purity certificate provided
Storage Conditions Lyophilized: –20 °C, protected from light; reconstituted: –20 °C, single-use aliquots
Shelf Life 24 months lyophilized at –20 °C
Package Specifications Per probe: 5 nmol or 20 nmol synthesis scale
Product Form Lyophilized solid, colored (fluorophore-dependent)
Quality Control MALDI-TOF mass within specification; HPLC purity ≥90%; fluorescence quenching efficiency ≥95%
Key Features LNA incorporation enables functional probe designs of 8–12 nucleotides that are impossible with standard DNA chemistry
Purity HPLC purification ≥90% full-length product; desalted ≥85%
