The BioMicro Center currently hosts the Syntax STX-200 (DNAScript), an oligo synthesizer.

The Syntax utilizes enzymatic chemistry to create a set of 96 phosphorylated ready to go oligos utilizing the platform solely in about a day. Plates may be ordered through ilabs.


STX-200

Instrument Syntax STX-200
USAGE Order through iLab
UNIT Setup + oligo charge
Chemistry
  • Enzymatic
  • 5' phosphorylated end
Number of Oligos per Run
  • 24 or 96
ON LOAN THROUGH DNAScript


"The Syntax" platform employs enzymatic DNA synthesis. All chemistry is handled within the Syntax machine-final elution of the oligos occurs in a 96 well deep well plate. Final concentration is usable for standard PCR reactions.
