Integrated DNA Technologies - the industry leader in DNA synthesis
IDT's proprietary DNA synthesis equipment permits rapid, high quality synthesis of nucleic acids. This platform is adjusted to a lower throughput mode which uses an "extra rich" synthesis cycle for long oligos. Along with this refined synthesis cycle, Ultramer® DNA oligos use a unique solid support that is specifically optimized to synthesize low-yield, high-quality oligos up to 200 bases in length. Overall, these improvements to their already established manufacturing methods allow you to acquire longer, purer oligos for your research.
Ultramers - up to 200 bases
Ultramers® are long, high-quality oligos for demanding applications such as cloning, ddRNAi, homology-directed repair, and gene construction.
Ultramer® DNA oligonucleotides are generated by proprietary synthesis methods that deliver high quality oligos up to 200 bases. They are available single- or double-stranded and can be delivered in tubes or plates.
- Highest possible quality thanks to industry-leading synthesis pipeline
- Complete confidence in oligos that are verified by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry
- Unrivalled control of oligo specifications with custom formulation and mixing options
Megamers - up to 2000 bases
Megamer® single-stranded DNA fragments are sequence-verified, single-stranded DNA strands of length 201–2000 bases. They can be used in applications such as homology-directed repair of CRISPR-mediated genome editing, in vitro transcription, and more.
- Generated from clonally purified DNA, which offers the greatest purity available
- Sequence-verified via next generation sequencing
- Typically shipped within 20 business days
Why use long oligos from IDT?
Because oligo quality is determined by coupling efficiency
Ultramer® DNA oligos are manufactured on proprietary synthesis platforms that offer higher coupling efficiencies than IDT's standard DNA oligos and other industry standards. As seen in the graph, coupling efficiency becomes increasingly important as oligo length increases. IDT Ultramers® achieve significantly higher coupling efficencies than competitors like Eurofins, Geneart or Genscript.
