A common laboratory method is the PAGE method. Electrophoresis is carried out using a polyacrylamide gel with 7M urea, using 20% gel for primers with less than 12 bases, 16% gel for primers with 12-60 bases, and 12% gel for primers with more than 60 bases. Take 0.2-0.50D primer, dissolve it with urea saturated solution or add urea dry powder into the primer solution until saturated, and heat it to change (95C, 2min) before sampling, the purpose of adding urea is to denaturation, and increase the specific gravity of the sample, so that it is easy to add samples. 600V electrophoresis, and then peel off the gel after a certain period of time (about 2-3 hours), detect the band type under UV light with fluorescent TLC plate, no spurious bands below the main band, indicating that there is no spurious bands under the main band, which means that there is no spurious bands under the main band, and that there is no spurious bands under the main band. If there is no heterogeneous band under the main band, it means the purity is good. Sometimes, due to insufficient denaturation, there may be a band above the main band, which is a primer secondary structure band).
Additional purity testing equipment can be used to more accurately determine the purity of the primer.
HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography): Gradient elution based on different adsorption of substances. Its mechanism is: when the sample into the column, solute molecules and solvent molecules on the adsorbent surface of the active center of the competitive adsorption. (At present, the main use of reversed-phase columns).
CGE (capillary electrophoresis): A type of liquid phase separation technology that uses high voltage electric field as the driving force and a capillary tube as the separation channel to realize separation based on the differences in mobility and distribution behaviors between components in the sample to achieve the effect of purity analysis. Kingsley has used it as one of the important means of primer quality control.
