|
C3 Spacer |
|
The C3 Spacer phosphoramidite can be incorporated internally or at the 5'-end of the oligo. Multiple C3 spacers can be added at either end of an oligo to introduce a long hydrophilic spacer arm for the attachment of fluorophores or other pendent groups. |

PC Spacer |
|
PC (Photo-Cleavable) Spacer can be placed between DNA bases or between the oligo and a 5'-modifier group. It offers a 10-atom spacer arm which can be cleaved with exposure to UV light in the 300-350 nm spectral range. Cleavage releases the oligo with a 5'-phosphate group. |

Hexanediol |
|
Hexanediol is a six carbon glycol spacer that is capable of blocking extension by DNA polymerases. This 3' modification is capable of supporting synthesis of longer oligos. |

Spacer 9 |
|
Spacer 9 is a triethylene glycol spacer that can be incorporated at the 5'-end or 3'-end of an oligo or internally. Multiple insertions can be used to create long spacer arms. |
