Put it in the order form, or just describe it
If you have sequences, paste them and the price updates as you type. If you do not, say what the experiment is. A gene symbol and a species is enough to start.
We come back within one business day
Itemised against the list on this site, so every line can be checked against a public page. Catalogue items are priced instantly. Custom and heavily modified constructs go past a synthesis chemist first, because that is where the surprises are.
You confirm, and it goes into synthesis
We do not publish a lead time. Our manufacturing partner quotes a turnaround once it has seen the order — length and the modifications decide it — so a figure printed before you have ordered would be a guess. What you get instead is a date on every stage, on the tracking page, and PAGE purification or more than two modifications will always take longer than a desalted primer.
It arrives dry, with its paperwork
Lyophilised, at ambient temperature, no dry ice. The mass spectrum and the certificate of analysis are issued with the shipment rather than on request.
Two routes
Who is placing the order?
That question decides the route, not the size of the order. Both end in the same place.
Your purchasing department is
Take a quote. It carries a number, holds the prices for 30 days, and lists everything your finance office needs. Hand it over and your purchasing manager places the order against the quote number, either settling it directly or raising a purchase order first and being billed afterwards. Institutions outside the United States often need a pro-forma invoice before a PO can exist; this quote is laid out to serve as one.
Build an order, then take a quoteYou are
Go straight through. Delivery details, settlement terms, done. No quotation step in between, which makes this the faster of the two. If your institution still wants a purchase order number on the invoice, put it in at checkout and we will print it there.
Build an order and check outStart from a gene, not from a sequence
You do not need to arrive with a sequence in hand.
Pick the species and the experiment on the order-by-gene page, put in the symbol, and the products that fit appear ready to configure — your price shows as you build the order. You order the product; the design comes back with the reasoning — target region, Tm, amplicon, why that region — and nothing is synthesised until you have seen it.
The design happens when you order rather than coming out of a lookup table, because a stored sequence that was correct against an old genome build, or that matches a paralogue, will cost you an experiment. One business day is a reasonable price for not finding that out at the bench.
No sequence yet? Tell us the experiment.
For when you have a target and a plan but nothing to paste yet. We design it, price it, and send both back within one business day — no charge, no obligation.
Cases we specifically want to see rather than turn away:
- RNA oligos longer than 60 nt
- More than four modifications on one oligo
- Oligo pools and multiplex panels
- Plate-based orders with per-well normalisation
- Anything you want a second pair of eyes on before you spend money
