Oligonucleotide Discovery Synthesis
Our oligonucleotide drug discovery platform is equipped with experienced scientists and state-of-the-art facilities to support your discovery synthesis of oligonucleotides, complex conjugates, monomers, ligands and linkers, from sequence design to Pre-Clinical Candidiate (PCC).
We provide library synthesis, custom synthesis from nmol to mmol. Our services cover all types of oligonucleotides with dedicated analytical support for all required testing.
We support all types of oligonucleotides, including but not limited to:
- DNA, ASO, PMO
- miRNA, siRNA, sgRNA
- Aptamer
Experience Highlight
- 45,900+ oligonucleotides per year
- 20+ classes of oligonucleotide conjugates
- 55+ PMOs & 45+ PPMOs
- 40+ ribofuranosyl & 10+ backbone modifications
- Expertise in long oligonucleotide synthesis for both ss RNA and ds RNA, with the longest with 158-nt
- Experience with diverse challenging modified oligonucleotide synthesis such as RNA with 3'/5'-GalNAc, lipidation, PEGylation, etc.

Various Synthesizers to Support All Your Needs from nmol – mmol
- nmol – µmol: 192-channel synthesizers
- µmol – mmol: 16 channel synthesizers, OligoPilot 10™ and OligoPilot 100™ synthesizers
Broad Purification Capability
- Cartridge Purification (desalting): High-throughput purification of oligonucleotide library
- Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (PAGE): Microgram scale purification with rapid delivery
- IP-RP HPLC: Milligram scale purification with endotoxin control
- Anion-Exchange Chromatography (AEX): From gram scale to large scale purification
- Customized Purification Method: Method development by combining IP-RP HPLC and AEX HPLC for high purity requirement
