The microfluidic chip miniaturizes the entire oligo synthesis workflow, reducing instrument footprint while dramatically increasing throughput.
Compared with conventional DNA synthesizers, it uses far smaller reagent volumes—lowering operating costs and waste without sacrificing quality or throughput. The result is highly parallel, highly diverse oligo synthesis delivered with exceptional efficiency and scale.
HOW IT WORKS
Our oligo synthesizer uses a proprietary microfluidic chip to simultaneously produce thousands of unique single-stranded DNA oligos using a split-pool synthesis approach. Integrated positional encoding enables precise tracking of each oligo for continuous quality control throughout the process.
At the end of a synthesis run, oligos are sorted by customer order and dispensed into one or more wells of a microplate.
INSIDE THE CHIP
Using a split-pool synthesis methodology, thousands of oligos are produced through a rapid, cyclical process of nucleotide addition. In each cycle, different groups of oligos receive different nucleotides, enabling the simultaneous construction of thousands of unique sequences in a single run.
Every nucleotide addition is quality-controlled to ensure sequence-perfect oligos. Once synthesis is complete, oligos are grouped by order and dispensed into one or more wells of a microplate.
WHY IT MATTERS
Fast, accurate, and versatile—Elegen’s oligo synthesizer produces the building blocks for all ENFINIA DNA products.
The result? High-quality DNA, faster iteration, and quicker access to critical insights.
