Release documentation
The current specification defines the analytical method and acceptance criteria; the released lot result is reported on the CoA.
Additional HPLC, MS or NMR documentation can be agreed during technical review where available.
Additional application examples
- Typical qualification includes identity, purity method, storage, handling and downstream workflow compatibility.
- Related analogs, impurity standards and custom quantities can be reviewed for project-specific research needs.
Product-specific evaluation notes
Potential advantages
- Dideoxy analogs provide clear extension-stop behavior when accepted by a polymerase.
Method limitations
- Polymerase acceptance varies; absence of a 3′-OH prevents further extension after incorporation.
