FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fremont, CA — April 2, 2014 — 威而鋼 /www.biolytic.com/”>Biolytic Lab Performance Inc. is proud to announce the Dr. Oligo Synthesizer platform. With the unprecedented capability to complete a single run of 768 oligos in 4 hours*, the Dr. Oligo Synthesizer offers the fastest and most efficient high throughput DNA, RNA, oligonucleotide synthesis in the world**.
“As Biotechnology has developed over the years Biolytic has played a significant role in advancing the automation of oligo synthesis. Our main approach has been a focus on innovations which utilize lower quantities of reagent while maintaining a standard for producing high quality oligos,” said Tom Demmitt, President and Founder of Biolytic Lab Performance Inc. “We are proud to present the Dr. Oligo Synthesizer platform which continues on that tradition and we hope this will contribute significantly to lowering the cost of gene synthesis worldwide.”
World’s Fastest High Throughput Synthesis
Boasting a total of 23 amidite delivery systems with up to 19 capable of low volume, 192 oligos can be synthesized as 20 bases in as little as 2 hours. The overall synthesis time can be further cut by up to 35%*4 when enabling the double reagent dispensing option. This increases reagent delivery to up to 16 columns simultaneously allowing a 768 oligo synthesis run to be achieved in only 4 hours*.
Ultra Efficient in Reagent and Gas Consumption
Without sacrificing on the synthesis quality, the Dr. Oligo Synthesizer keeps operating costs down. A smaller gas chamber maintains up to an 80%*5reduction in gas spent while also taking considerably less time to pressurize. An additional bottle per reagent can be added to allow a bottle to run completely empty before being changed without having to re-prime the lines. Reagent flow rate through the synthesis media (columns) can be fine-tuned with up to three different pressure settings minimizing reagent consumption to achieve optimal synthesis. The optional low volume delivery system minimizes waste of expensive amidites by placing the valves and bottles on the nozzle plate thereby reducing the tubing for priming and delivery.
