How should synthesized DNA be stored?
The dried product is very stable and can be stored at -20°C for 2 years without issue.Dissolved DNA should also be stored at -20°C, preferably aliquoted to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Oligo DNA in solution should be fine at room temperature for 3–4 days, but it is best not to leave it for more than a week. Its longevity is related to container and solvent sterility.
What is the maximum length of DNA and RNA that your company can synthesize?
DNA synthesis length: 6–130 bases, RNA synthesis length: 8–35 bases.
When synthesizing long DNA sequences, it is difficult to ensure that every molecule in the product is completely correct due to limitations in synthesis and purification methods. Additionally, it should be noted that if the sequence to be synthesized is particularly challenging (e.g., containing consecutive "G"s, etc.), the synthesis yield may be relatively low, and we may charge an additional fee based on the specific situation. Sometimes, we may be unable to synthesize the ordered sequence, in which case the company reserves the right to decline the order.
