Sumario:[Image: see text] We present a facile and adaptable method to purify and isolate DNA–polymer conjugates from different uncharged homo, random, or block copolymer families. Anion exchange chromatography is used to separate the reaction solution and retrieve the excess unreacted polymer and oligonucleotide. The stationary phase has a high efficiency (25 nmol of DNA per run), facilitating the purification of large batches without compromising the peak shape and resolution. To demonstrate the versatility of this method, different types of polymers, including acrylates, methacrylates, and acrylamides containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic blocks, were purified with high yields. Additionally, DNA–polymer conjugates with various DNA block lengths were also successfully purified, further highlighting the broad applicability of this method.
