Abstract
Disclosed is a method for detecting and quantitating oligonucleotides with charged internucleotide linkages in biological fluids. In this method, a biological fluid sample is contacted with an anion exchange resin at from 40.degree. C. to 65.degree. C. for a time sufficient to enable oligonucleotides in the sample to adsorb to the resin. The absorbed oligonucleotides are then desorbed with a buffer having a salt concentration of about 1 M to 2.5 M and a pH in the range of about 6.5 to 7.5, the desorption being performed at about 40.degree.-65.degree. C. The oligonucleotides so released are then detected and quantitated.
