DNA Script Custom q/dPCR Kits for Syntax Platform

DNA Script has launched a new generation of kits for its Syntax oligo synthesis platform to enable the same-day creation of custom qPCR or digital PCT assays. Using the new kits with the Syntax platform, researchers can print oligos up to 80 nucleotides in length; synthesize hydrolysis probes and primers in the same run in as little as eight hours; print oligos at a higher yield and concentration (≥7 µM and ≥600 pmol); and label probes with fluorophores, quenchers, and biotin, the company said. Beyond PCR, the new kits have the potential to accelerate other genomic workflows such as next-generation sequencing, in situ hybridization, and fluorescence in situ hybridization assays, DNA Script added.
