IDT Unveils Advanced Synthetic Biology Center and Gene Fragment Services
Faster, Affordable, and Tailored DNA Solutions for Researchers
Global genomics leader Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) has officially launched a state-of-the-art Synthetic Biology Center dedicated to custom gene solutions. This expansion strengthens Iit’s continued mission to empower researchers through a full suite of synthetic biology capabilities—from fast, affordable gene fragments to personalized design services.
Built on nearly four decades of scientific leadership, this new hub elevates it’s flagship eBlocks™, gBlocks™, and gBlocks HiFi™ Gene Fragments, while unveiling a specialized SynBio Custom Solutions Team dedicated to supporting complex and non-standard synthetic biology workflows.
Origins of Gene Fragment Innovation
IDT first introduced gBlocks™ Gene Fragments, setting a new industry benchmark for rapid, cost-effective, and high-quality synthetic DNA. Since then, the company has continually refined its manufacturing platforms, enhancing fragment performance, delivery speed, and pricing transparency.
With the Synthetic Biology Center, it integrates Danaher Business System (DBS) methodologies and strategic investments to elevate both quality and throughput. The result: gene fragments that help researchers accelerate from concept to experiment—often with next-day shipping and competitive pricing, starting at just $0.07 per base pair (USD).
Speed and Convenience You Can Count On
In an era where turnaround time and reliability matter, IDT delivers on both fronts:
- Cloning-ready fragments: No adapter removal or complex prep required. Fragments can be cloned directly into vectors using common lab workflows.
- Consistent yields: Every fragment ship includes a minimum of 200 ng, reducing the need for reorder and giving labs flexibility in downstream applications.
- Delivery in under 24 hours: Select eBlocks orders ship as quickly as the following day, backed by fully transparent pricing—no hidden fees, no surprises.
“Our mission has always been to empower scientists to move faster without compromising quality,” explains Ajay Gannerkote, President of IDT. “We introduced gBlocks to the market and we’ve never stopped innovating. With our expanded platforms and new facility, we’re pushing turnaround times even further: accelerating discovery is what we do best.”
Beyond Off-the-Shelf: Customized SynBio Solutions
Not every project fits standardized offerings. IDT’s SynBio Custom Solutions Team works closely with researchers to design bespoke constructs that align precisely with project goals, encompassing:
- Codon optimization
- Vector selection and design
- Promoter and expression tuning
- Multi-gene pathway assembly
- Specialty fragment formats (e.g., Big DNA, long sequences)
Backed by over 35 years of scientific innovation and a team of PhD-level biologists and bioengineers, IDT supports demanding research in areas such as synthetic biology, gene therapy, metabolic engineering, and advanced model development.
“Our team doesn’t just manufacture DNA—we co-create with researchers to solve complex technical challenges,” states Gannerkote. “From intellectual backup to construct delivery, we’re a full-lifecycle partner.”
Product Line: eBlocks, gBlocks, and gBlocks HiFi
IDT’s expanded gene fragment portfolio offers options for different use cases:
| Product | Description |
