All of our DNA RNA oligonucleotide synthesizers, synthesis and post synthesis accessories, and software are designed and manufactured in Fremont, California.

Yes, our DNA synthesizers / RNA synthesizers can use standard A, T, C, G phosphoramidites, as well as specials for 3'-, 5'-, and internal modifications, dyes such as FAM or cyanine dyes (Cy4, Cy5, etc), biotin, LNAs, backbone modifications, and more.

Our DNA synthesizers and RNA synthesizers use standard synthesis columns and synthesis 96-well and 384-well plates. We offer our own Biolytic Lab Performance, Inc. line of synthesis consumables that have been tested and verified to work, but third party synthesis consumables will work as well.

See a full list of our consumables offerings on our Synthesis Consumables page

Our Dr. Oligo DNA RNA oligonucleotide synthesizers may be installed in laboratories that have a vent, a source of 100 psi of inert gas, and power supply of 110V - 240V, 50-60Hz.

Each oligo synthesizer instrument will have it's own pre-installation requirements and checklist.

DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis, and post synthesis accessories are sold separately.

Biolytic Lab Performance, Inc. offers a wide variety of accessories that streamline DNA RNA oligo synthesis processess such as cleavage and deprotection, purification, and more. See our selection of accessories.

We offer medium (48 oligos in a run), high throughput (192 oligos in a run), and ultra high throughput (768 oligos in a run) DNA RNA oligo synthesizers. The number of oligos synthesized per day depends on your DNA synthesizer / RNA synthesizer throughput, as well as the length of your oligos.

Our DNA oligo synthesizers and RNA oligo synthesizers are highly customizable to fit your needs. Prices vary based on instrument configuration.

The price per base is dependent on the price paid for reagents. We can provide the volume per reagent needed to add one base. To determine the price per base, you will multiple the price of reagent by the volume needed. These volumes are based on using our protocols and our synthesis columns. Volumes may vary depending on your protocol or synthesis consumables.

Below is an example of reagent consumption for 1 umol (1000A) columns:

Instruments require a stable temperature environment. This means we do not want the temperature changing a lot (+ / - 5 degrees C is fine). No matter which DNA synthesizer / RNA synthesizer you choose, the reagents need to be kept dry and free of atmosphere contaminants such as water and oxygen (higher than 20%).

Our synthesizers use inert gas pressure in the reagent bottles to protect the reagents and to move the reagents through the instrument to the reaction sites. We do not use vacuum pumps. We use positive pressure from inert gas for precisely moving reagent at a slow rate through the synthesis columns. The inert gas we recommend is Nitrogen that is 99.998% pure. The customer must supply this and this is a consumable as it will be used up for synthesis.

For humidity, it is best to maintain a low humidity mainly for making and storing reagents. Once on our synthesizer, the reagents are protected and not affected by humidity. We ask for relative humidity to be non-condensing and below 60%. As we say this is for handling and storing the reagents before they go onto our synthesizer. All synthesizers that synthesize oligos using chemical solid phase synthesis produce chemical waste and reagent vapors. We have no pumps that would add to the volume of vapors. Vapors are produced and may get into the lab atmosphere when bottles are changed, when the waste is emptied and when inserting and removing the oligo reaction columns. These activities cannot be avoided regardless of the synthesizer. We do our best to capture these vapors and provide a channel to send them to a chemical fume hood.

We have a variety of service options and packages depending on your needs.

Please visit our Service Plans page for more information about dna synthesizer and rna synthesizer maintenance services, and support

Our website www.biolytic.com lists most of our spare parts. An average annual cost to maintain the instrument is 6% to 12% of the USA list price. This is highly dependent on your use case, and how you decide to perform maintainence on your instrument. The older the instrument, the more the cost increases as more things wear out. There will be components like gaskets, filters, tubing and valves that will need to be regularly replaced or maintained. Preventative maintenance is recommended to keep your instrument running smoothly.

Concerning upgrades, that is dependent on what upgrade the owner is interested in purchasing. Upgrades can be hardware or software or a combination of hardware and software.
