General information


Being a German leader in nucleic acid technology IBA has more than 18 years experience in DNA and RNA synthesis.
We are not only synthesizing standard DNA/RNA oligonucleotides but are also specialized in production and purification of modified nucleosides and oligonucleotides (DNA and RNA). Base, ribose and backbone modifications and reporter groups like dyes and haptens are routinely incorporated into DNA and RNA. The in-house nucleoside and nucleotide chemistry laboratory continuously develops new modifications which are not available elsewhere. Please contact us if the modification you are looking for is not listed in the catalog.


Quality of products

IBA delivers only highly purified products. We make no compromise in our efforts to reach reproducible highest coupling yields. Also we have developed highly sophisticated purification processes to meet the individual needs of each oligonucleotide and modification.

The following points are strictly followed during synthesis of oligonucleotides:

  • Synthesizers from leading manufacturers
  • High quality chemicals from selected suppliers
  • High concentrations of building blocks
  • In-house developed and optimized synthesis cycles
  • Prolonged coupling steps optimized for certain building blocks
  • Purification of oligonucleotides either by HPLC and/or PAGE
  • Two-step purification process for fluorescent probes
  • Exact yield determination by measuring UV-absorption and adjustment of the concentration
  • Routine use of our products for in-house applications like cDNA synthesis, PCR, in vitro transcription, DNA sequencing and gene synthesis

Service

IBA offers free technical assistance provided by nucleic acid chemists and molecular biologists. Take advantage of more than ten years experience in the field of nucleoside-, nucleotide- and oligonucleotide synthesis and application.
