Integrated DNA Technologies Unveils New Custom Vector Onboarding Tool to Optimize Gene Synthesis

CORALVILLE, Iowa (March 27, 2024)—Global genomics solutions provider Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) is expanding its gene synthesis offerings with a new custom vector onboarding tool. The easy-to-use solution is designed for researchers who want to skip in-house cloning steps and move quickly into functional studies with 100% sequence-verified clonal DNA. By using IDT’s new gene synthesis custom vector onboarding tool, researchers can submit their vector sequence via IDT’s website without having to contact a sales representative, eliminating unnecessary back-and-forth emails.

Customers receive the following benefits by onboarding their vector with IDT:

• Time savings: Once onboarded, IDT does the cloning and customers can order fully cloned genes in their vector at anytime.
• No recurring fees: After a one-time cost of $500 for onboarding a custom vector, customers will not incur additional fees when ordering inserts in their custom vector, and no minimum order is required.
• Confidentiality: All online ordering steps, including sequence entry, are secure and protected. Confidentiality is a high priority and IDT ensures your IP is safe.

“With gene synthesis accelerating research and propelling the design, build, test, and learn cycle that underpins innovations in synthetic biology, efficiency and speed are increasingly becoming more critical to researchers," said Sandy Ottensmann, VP/GM of Gene Writing and Editing at IDT. “We designed our new custom vector onboarding tool with this in mind, with the goal of enabling researchers to continue advancing their important experiments by equipping them with the solutions they need to rapidly develop at scale, at efficient costs.”

IDT’s new custom onboarding vector tool is the latest addition to IDT’s broad synthetic biology portfolio, which is comprised of gene and gene fragment offerings. As a large-scale provider of synthetic DNA, IDT can make gene fragments between 125 bp to 3 kb and custom genes between 25 bp to 5 kb. Genes greater than 5 kb require custom quoting. Looking ahead to the second half of 2024, IDT plans to leverage its expanded U.S.-based synthetic biology manufacturing facility footprint to further enhance its gene synthesis portfolio with differentiated offerings.
