Description: Advancements in large RNA therapeutics command the development of new technologies to characterize mRNA, sgRNA, and associated impurities. Available enzymes and data analysis workflows are inadequate for rapid and sensitive characterization. Complementary cleavage specificities are needed to fill the sequence coverage gap by available RNases. Tunable dinucleotide specific enzymes generating shorter and longer digestion products and streamlined informatics from Waters enable accurate sequence confirmation with high efficiency and confidence to ensure integrity in a single LC-MS run.
