DNA synthesis

We can prepare oligos with lengths of 10 to 150 bases. Crude oligos are usually available within 24 hours.

  • Instrument: a MerMade 12 DNA Synthesizer.
  • Preparation: for most applications, a crude preparation works well. Desalt procedures using Sephadex are available. Cartridge purification is recommended for oligos over 40 bases, as well as primers prepared for mutagenesis experiments.
  • Scales: 50 nmole, 200 nmole, 1 umole
  • Dilution: as an added convenience, we will dilute your oligo to 100 micromolar in water after quantitation. This allows a faster turn-around time, because it won't have to be dried down.

Tours

Want to tour a facility at University Park, or arrange a tour for someone else?

The Huck Institutes’ facility directors are glad to assist with scheduled tours for potential faculty hires and student recruitment. However, due to the heavy workloads in our facilities, we must request that the tours be set up in advance. Most of our facility directors cannot accommodate “drop in” tours since they are working on time sensitive research projects for faculty.

Procedure for setting up facility tours

Contact the facility director to schedule the tour. We request a one week notice prior to the potential visit (earlier if possible). Or, if you prefer, you can contact Megan Matthews to make your arrangements.
