Product Features
Oligonucleotide Delivery Beyond Liver
Glycans interact with specific cell surface receptors, and this property can be utilized to achieve delivery to target cells or tissues.

in vitro Evaluation (Galactose glycans) Uptake into HepG2 cell
Glycan modified proteins were evaluated for their intracellular deliverability by immunostaining.
Galactose glycan modified molecules are taken up into cells via ASGPR and delivered to lysosomes via early and late endosomes.
The image shows partial co-localization with the lysosomal marker LAMP1 (green), confirming that it is delivered to lysosomes to a similar degree as TriGalNAc.

in vivo Evaluation (GlycanX) Tumor-selective Delivery
Fluorescent molecules and small molecule drugs were modified with glycans and evaluated for their tumor accumulation and efficacy in in vivo studies.
As a result, GlycanX showed higher tumor accumulation than the control (comparative glycan), confirming its superior tumor-reducing effect.

Guaranteed Yield
“Guaranteed yield” refers to the minimum amount delivered to the customer, representing the final yield obtained after all synthesis and purification have been completed.
The unit is expressed in “OD,” calculated from the absorbance at 260 nm measured using a spectrophotometer.
As a general guideline, 1 OD corresponds to approximately 30 µg; however, the actual mass per OD varies depending on base composition and chemical modifications.
3′ end modifications are available for 11–50 mer sequences.

| 11-50mer | 51-70mer | 71-99mer | |||
| HPLC | 0.2µmol | 0.5 OD | 0.5 OD | 0.5 OD | 11–70mer when including RNA |
| 1µmol | 4 OD | 2 OD | 1 OD | ||
Domestic Lead Time
Orders are accepted until 16:00.
Orders placed after 16:00 will be processed as next-day orders. Thank you for your understanding.
We calculate the delivery schedule based on business days, counting the order date as Day 0.
For orders with 1µmol scale or more, the domestic lead-time will be one day longer than indicated below.
Please note that the required lead time may be longer than usual depending on the number of oligonucleotides ordered or the sequence composition.
| Domestic Lead Time | between 10 and 14 business days |
