5-Ethylthiotetrazole (ETT) is an efficient activator for use in chemical synthesis of either DNA or RNA.

ETT has excellent performance with respect to coupling times, coupling efficiency, consumption of phosphoramidites and reduction of n-1 impurities. ETT can be used for RNA synthesis with TBDMS, O-Methyl, TOM® or ACE® amidites.

Preparation (IMPORTANT: USE ONLY ANHYDROUS ACETONITRILE WITH A WATER CONTENT OF ≤20 PPM!!)
Choose a Hyacinth ETTTM activator molarity of either 0.25 M or 0.30 M. Use the chart below to determine the volume of acetonitrile required for the amount of Hyacinth ETTTM you wish to dissolve and then completely dissolve Hyacinth ETTTM with this volume. Heating in a warm water bath may speed up dissolution. Use a syringe and two needles (insert one needle as a vent) for water-free addition of acetonitrile to the 30 mL- and 60 mL-bottles.
