Custom DNA Oligos & qPCR Probes

Oligonucleotides form the foundation of modern life science research, from basic genomic studies to disease diagnosis and therapeutics. In addition to their use as a standard or high-throughput primers in PCR, oligo nucleotides are used as probes, in microarray, in binding, in Immunostimulatory assays, in Sanger Sequencing & NGS (non-adapters), antisense analyses, and X-ray crystallographic structure determination.

As a supplier to the global life science industry of custom and predesigned DNA oligo products with more than 35 years of experience, we possess cutting-edge technology, competitive prices, and continuous investment in worldwide operations. We excel in difficult constructs with guaranteed quality and performance because of our comprehensive understanding of bioinformatics, various synthesis chemistries, and proprietary in-house engineered platforms. We perform regular quality checks using MALDI-TOF and Electrospray Ionization (ESI) Mass Spec and OD by UV spectroscopy and maintain a robust quality management system (QMS).
