Synthesis Scales

Microsynth has established and validated a specific process for the preparation of NGS oligonucleotides, based on a rigorous HPLC purification procedure in which the elimination of cross-contamination is a top priority.

Synthesis Scale Purification Length Restriction Guaranteed Yield Production Time [wd]
0.2 umol  IEX-HPLC 40 – 80 2 OD 3 - 5
1.0 umol  IEX-HPLC 40 – 80 6 OD 3 - 5

 

Available Modifications and Formats

We support a wide range of NGS-specific requirements, including:

  • 5'-phosphorylation for ligation workflows
  • Custom adapter designs
  • Indexing and barcoding sequences
  • Fluorophores and labels
  • Additional custom modifications upon request

Quality Control and Manufacturing Standards

All NGS oligonucleotides are manufactured under strict quality standards and undergo comprehensive quality control:

  • Analytical HPLC
  • Mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF or ESI-MS)

This ensures high purity, correct sequence identity, and reproducibility—critical for reliable sequencing data.

How to Order

Important: Please first contact us at Microsynth and request your offer (volume discounts are possible!)
 

Option 1: When ordering NGS primers, please proceed as follows:

  • Enter our webshop, click on DNA in the blue “DNA/RNA Synthesis” domain
  • Select either Normal Entry in order to type or copy/paste the desired sequence information etc. or alternatively select Upload Entry by using our convenient Excel Template (can be downloaded during ordering)
  • Follow the further instructions


Option
2: When ordering primers for Illumina amplicon sequencing, please proceed as follows:

  • Use the dedicated “Order Form_Illumina_AmpliconDeepSeq” (can be downloaded in the right column); in this context see also our application note “Amplicon Deep Sequencing”)
  • Specify now the locus-specific sequences for your first-step PCR primers and then select your desired indexed forward and reverse primers
  • Enter our webshop, click on DNA in the blue “DNA/RNA Synthesis” domain and then on Upload Entry
  • Follow the further instructions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are NGS oligonucleotides used for?

NGS oligos are used for library preparation, indexing, and target enrichment in next-generation sequencing workflows.

What is the difference between adapters and indexing primers?

Adapters enable sequencing platform compatibility, while indexing primers allow multiplexing of multiple samples in a single run.

Are Microsynth NGS oligos compatible with Illumina platforms?

Yes, our oligonucleotides are fully compatible with Illumina and other sequencing technologies.
