Abstract

DNA origami synthesis is a well-established technique with wide-ranging applications. In most cases, the synthesized origami must be purified to remove excess materials such as DNA oligos and other functional molecules. While several purification techniques are routinely used, all have limitations, and cannot be integrated with robotic systems. Here the use of solid-phase reversible immobilization (SPRI) beads as a scalable, high-throughput, and automatable method to purify DNA origami is demonstrated. Not only can this method remove unreacted oligos and biomolecules with yields comparable to existing methods while maintaining the high structural integrity of the origami, but it can also be integrated into an automated workflow to purify simultaneously large numbers and quantities of samples. It is envisioned that the SPRI beads purification method will improve the scalability of DNA nanostructures synthesis both for research and commercial applications.
