Oligonucleotide therapeutics have emerged in recent years as a powerful alternative to small-molecule and protein therapeutics, resulting in the development of innovative drugs against cancers and genetic diseases. Synthesis of oligonucleotides is automated, highly efficient, and carried out on solid phase supports using oligonucleotide synthesizers in four steps: detritylation, coupling, capping, and oxidation. The coupling efficiency of the synthesis method is very important and determines how long an oligonucleotide can be synthesized as well as the yield and quality of the final product. There are many factors that can affect coupling efficiency including the moisture content of acetonitrile, which is used as a diluent and wash in the coupling stage of synthesis. Strict control of moisture content in acetonitrile (<10ppm) is required for high yield and a high-quality product. In this presentation, an alternative method for trace and ultra-trace moisture determination in acetonitrile using a selective and sensitive vacuum UV GC detector will be discussed with limits of detection to <100ppb. Advantages over other techniques will be considered. Key Learning Objectives:
