Abstract
The preparation of 3'-mono- and 3', 5' -bis-labeled oligonucleotides 
on a new fluorescein-functionalized polymer support based on 
Silochrom-2 microspherical silica is described. Oligonucleotide 
(dT)15 containing a dye residue at 3'-end was synthesized on this 
support by solid-phase phosphoramidite method. Post-synthetic 
5'-modification of 3'-conjugate allowed obtaining double dye-labeled 
oligomer. In the future it will be used for the synthesis of fluorescent 
probe for nucleic acids detection.
Keywords: oligonucleotide conjugates, fluorescent labels, solidphase synthesis, functionalization
