Workflow

How Our Gene Synthesis Service Works

A streamlined, transparent process from sequence submission to delivered construct.

Submit Your Sequence

Provide your gene sequence in FASTA or GenBank format, or specify the protein sequence for codon optimization. Include any vector or cloning requirements.

Sequence Analysis & Optimization

Our team reviews your sequence for synthesis feasibility, identifies potential problem areas (repeats, GC-rich regions), and performs codon optimization if requested.

Synthesis & Cloning

Your gene is synthesized using our automated platform, with error-correction technology to ensure accuracy. The construct is then cloned into your chosen vector.

Quality Control & Delivery

Every clone is sequence-verified, and you receive purified plasmid DNA along with full QC documentation, including sequence files and a QC report.
