Unmatched Quality, Reliability, and Price

Here’s How We Compare

We’ve flipped the script on gene synthesis.

NGS-verified linear DNA is now just $0.07/bp, and long plasmid DNA is $0.12/bp.

That means fast-turn, high-quality DNA across a broader length range—at the price of low-quality gene fragments.

And there’s no twist: our pricing stays the same as sequence length increases.

Even at 7,000 bp, our linear DNA is still just $0.07/bp.

Fast. Verified. Predictable pricing.
