Compounds for DNA Synthesis
By L L December 2, 2021
Along with an extensive selection of base-carrying phosphoramidites, our DNA synthesis toolbox includes; standard and mild 3’ base protection options with a variety of CPG supports, functional backbone modifications, duplex stabilizers and more. These compounds allow our synthesis to pursue challenging techniques such as 5’->3’ synthesis and heavy reinforcements to the nucleotides. Additional in-house compounds are categorized into their respective applications. Most notably chain termination for PCR/Sequence Utility, structural studies, DNA mutagenesis/repair, diagnostics, and therapeutics.
DNA Modifiers
By L L December 1, 2021
Modifying DNA during synthesis involves a bit of creativity along with untraditional chemistry throughout the synthesis workflow. Different classes of modifiers have grown over time, but the most tried and true begins with 3’ or 5’ amino modifiers and the use of spacers and “branching” modifications. This paved the way for introducing more elaborate modifiers into sequences, such as compounded functional groups and a wide array of labels.

ENDORSED IN PRACTICE

Our clients success is our success.

Dual-labeled qPCR probes

“We needed dual-labeled probes that just worked. In other words; clean signal, no background, and consistent across lots. KbDNA delivered exactly that. Their probes helped us lock in assay performance and move into clinical validation without delays.”

Scaling ELISA Assay Development

“We needed reliable proteins to finalize our ELISA kit. KbDNA’s IL-6 and TNF-α were not only pure and active, but they also delivered consistent performance across lots. That kind of reliability is rare—and it saved us a ton of time in validation.”

Modified oligos manufacturing

“Scaling from 100 nmol to 10 µmol with complex modifications was a nightmare, until we found KbDNA. They nailed the synthesis, QC, and even helped us tweak our formulation buffer. We’re now shipping pilot batches with confidence.”

"pre-GMP" Biosims. Basically at cost

“We were moving our VEGF biosimilar into preclinical and needed near-GMP protein—fast, clean, and in bulk. KbDNA delivered almost a kilo at basic mab pricing, no GMP hassle. Their quick support and solid docs kept us aligned with CMC and on track.”

CRISPR with sgRNAs

“We were running a genome-wide CRISPR screen and kept hitting variability in editing efficiency. KbDNA’s sgRNAs were a game-changer. Especially their full QC. We got reproducible knockouts across replicates and wrapped the screen weeks ahead of schedule.”
