Automated hybridization assays for pharmacokinetic (PK) measurements of oligonucleotides
13 Apr 2026
Oligonucleotide therapeutics such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) are transforming drug development, but they introduce analytical challenges especially the need for highly sensitive, broad‑range PK measurements across complex biological matrices like serum and tissue homogenates. Hybridization‑based assays must also contend with sequence‑dependent variability and structural interferences.
Discover how automated dual‑hybridization and nuclease‑dependent cutting assays on the Gyrolab® platform provide a streamlined, sensitive solution that supports scientists and researchers in reliably quantifying ASO across diverse preclinical and clinical samples.

Automation Supplies / AccessoriesAutomated accessories and consumables make lab processes fast, efficient and reliable. Useful automation accessories include microplate sealers, label printers and reagent reservoirs.OligonucleotidesOligonucleotides are small nucleic acid polymers, usually less than 20 bases in length. Oligonucleotides can be made via enzymatic cleavage or more commonly by chemical synthesis with polymerases. Their use includes FISH, southern blots, microarrays and as primers in PCR. High fidelity synthesis kits and detection systems are available for easy production and detection, respectively.RNA InterferenceRNA interference (RNAi) uses siRNA or miRNA for transcriptional silencing, gene knockdown and regulation of gene expression. RNAi requires chemical synthesis, introduction of DNA vectors into cells, an assay of RNAi effects and RNAi quantification or analysis. Consider target sequence selection, reagent preparation, controls, high specificity and effectiveness and low non-specific gene knockdown.ImmunoassayImmunoassays are laboratory tests that utilize antibody-antigen interactions to detect specific substances. They are widely used in diagnostics for detecting diseases, drug testing, and environmental monitoring. These assays offer rapid, sensitive, and precise detection of biomarkers, making them invaluable in clinical and research labs.
