     How to order

        There are several different ways to order oligonucleotides from genxpress.at :
        
          -  Using our online ordering system with SSL-encryption is the safest
             and quickest way to order.                               
             The interactive online ordering system can define many different aspects
             of your order to avoid callbacks.

          -  Using our bulk order form if you wish to order a number of oligonucleotides
             that only differ in oligo name and sequence.            
                                                                                                                                                                                                        

  
DNA Oligo Nucleotides
All oligonucleotides will be shipped free of salt, quantified and documented. Standard dry-cleaning with RP-cartridge;
every oligonucleotide (up to 50 bases) is assayed by Maldi mass spectrometry.

*       oligonucleotides up to 35 bases, HPLC or PAGE not possible, no wobbles.
**     Cartridge up to 70 bases, HPCL or PAGE up to 140 bases.
***   The lower amounts are guaranteed for a 20mer DNA oligonucleotide.

DNA synthesis - antisense oligos
Antisense technology has opened a new approach to the development of drug therapeutics.

   
Antisense drugs are designed to inhibit the production of disease-causing proteins and offer the potential to be highly selective in their action and less toxic than traditional drugs.

Antisense oligonucleotides, either as synthetic DNA or RNA, are oligonucleotides which have been modified in various ways. The purpose of this modification is to prevent oligonucleotide degradation within cells, and to increase affinity to the specific target mRNA.

We deliver highly purified antisense oligos mainly as
Phosphorothioates (PTOs): increased cell uptake, nuclease resistance, elicitation of RNAse H activity
2´-O-Methyl RNA: resistance to a wide variety of ribo- and deoxyribonucleases, formation of more stable hybrids with complementary RNA strands than equivalent DNA and RNA sequences
C-5 propyne derivatives: enhancement of duplex stability

The different modifications can also be used in combination with each other to produce chimeric sequences for improved nuclease resistance and to achieve a more potent antisense activity.
Performing double purification by HPLC and gel filtration metabion´s antisense oligos are ready-to-use for in vivo applications.

 


DNA synthesis - black hole quenchers™

We can offer Black Hole (BHQ™)series of dark quenchers that were designed for use in 5’-nuclease assays.
   
These molecules function as efficient quenchers of fluorescence over the entire visible spectrum and into the IR, re-emitting their energy as heat rather than light. Probes made with BHQ™ dyes exhibit extremely low background noise and allow for lower copy sensitivity. BHQ-1 has a maximal absorption at 534 nm, and quenches most efficiently in the 480 to 580 nm range, where as BHQ-2 has a lmax at 579 nm, which enables it to quench fluorescence in the 550 to 650 nm range.

DNA synthesis - extra long oligos; large scale synthesis
Very long oligos (40 up to 100 or more nucleotides) mainly used for the synthesis of artificial genes are extremely critical to production and purification conditions and protocols.
   
Even if length and sequence reliability are unavoidably limited by standard phosporamidite chemistry and base composition (formation of secondary structures during synthesis!), synthesis success can effectively be influenced by using only top quality chemicals and instruments as well as constantly improving and optimizing the production process. Selected purification procedures based on carefully elaborated HPLC programs are the final key to metabion´s outstanding quality.

We can also supply you with milligrams to tens of grams of the purest DNA available ("GMP quality") including both standard and modified DNA mainly required for antisense studies.


DNA synthesis - standard & modified special oligos
With the excellent expertise of vbc´s chemists, biologists, and technicians we are able to modify oligonucleotides with a wide range of different labels as:
   
 
fluorescent dyes (ABI dyes, cyanine dyes, ...)
IRDyes™ (IRDye™700, IRDye™800)
hapten labels (biotin, digoxigenin, DNP, ...)
modified bases (Inosin, dideoxy nucleosides, methyl-dC, ...)
DNA/RNA hybrids
functional linkers (amine and thiol linkers in varying lengths, ...)
spacers and branches (modifications for introducing spaces and branches into oligonucleotides)
other modifications (phosphorylation, psoralen, cholesterol, dabcyl, ...)

Together with our customers we try to find the best solution for each application. Technical support concerning optimal design and purity needs of oligonucleotides is a just as important part of our service as the synthesis of products itself. Especially new techniques developed for real-time monitoring and quantification in amplification studies, detection of RNA within living cells or big genotyping projects require the use of multiple labeled oligonucleotides. To ensure unambiguous, definite, and clear results, synthesis and purification of these specialized oligonucleotides show a strong demand for outstanding know how and highly sophisticated equipment.



DNA synthesis - dual labeled fluorogenic probes
Especially for real time monitoring of polymerase chain reaction in sealed tubes, detection of RNA within living cells, quantitative PCR for early diagnosis of potential pathogens or for diagnosis of genetic diseases the use of double labeled fluorogenic probes has become very popular.
As for this kind of oligonucleotides perfect quality to ensure that they work is a must, we have optimized our synthesis and purification protocols in a way that the background noise will be decreased to an absolute minimum.
We will reliably guarantee top quality probes for your successful DNA/RNA detection experiments!

siRNA Oligonukleotide

We offer RNA-Oligonucleotides for RNA-applications. si-RNA-oligos are ready to use (no further processing is required).
   

The RNA is provided with the sense and antisense strands in separate tubes. The oligos need to be duplexed by the end user. The 2´-OH protecting group has been hydrolysed to its native hydroxyl 82´-OH) form. DNA-overhangs are included in the duplex-price.
