sgRNA and Cas9 mRNA Characterization by Ion PairReversed Phase Liquid Chromatography Coupled to HRMS
With the rise of RNA vaccines and CRISPR-based therapies, the demand for robust analytical methods to characterize long RNAs like sgRNA and mRNA has grown significantly. In this application note, we demonstrate a comprehensive workflow combining Ion Pair-Reversed Phase (IP-RP) chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) using Biozen Oligo and WidePore C4 columns. Model systems (BRCA1-targeting sgRNA and Cas9-mRNA) were analyzed both intact and post-RNase 4 digestion. This approach enabled full sequence identification, impurity profiling, and resolution of phosphorothioate diastereomers. For Cas9-mRNA, the workflow also confirmed 5' cap integrity and poly-A tail heterogeneity. This streamlined strategy offers a powerful solution for RNA therapeutic characterization with high sensitivity and resolution.
