MerMade™ Oligo Synthesizers for DNA and RNA Synthesis

MerMade™ oligo synthesizers enable in-house DNA and RNA oligonucleotide synthesis across a wide range of throughput levels, synthesis scales and production formats. Part of the Biosearch Technologies complete oligo synthesis portfolio, MerMade systems support standard and chemically modified oligonucleotides and can be configured to meet specific laboratory, manufacturing and workflow requirements.

Clinical Applications

Scalable oligo synthesis platforms for research and production workflows

Configurable DNA and RNA synthesis systems supporting diverse throughput, scale and modification requirements

MerMade™ oligo synthesizers enable organisations to bring DNA and RNA oligonucleotide synthesis in-house while maintaining control over production schedules, quality processes and supply continuity. As part of the Biosearch Technologies end-to-end oligo synthesis portfolio, MerMade systems are supported by phosphoramidites, synthesis reagents, columns and consumables designed for oligonucleotide production workflows. The portfolio spans benchtop, parallel-column and high-throughput plate-based platforms, supporting synthesis scales from nanomole to millimole quantities. Instrument configurations can be tailored to specific throughput requirements and support a broad range of standard, degenerate and chemically modified oligonucleotides for molecular diagnostics, genomics, synthetic biology and therapeutic development applications.

Key considerations when selecting an oligo synthesizer

Important factors that can influence instrument selection, workflow efficiency and future scalability.

Throughput requirements

Select a system based on the number of oligos required per day.

Synthesis scale

Support synthesis scales ranging from nanomole to millimole production requirements.

Format selection

Choose between columns, plates, 96-well and dual 96-well formats.

Chemical modification capability

Support a broad range of modified oligonucleotide chemistries, including specialised phosphoramidites and custom synthesis workflows.

Training requirements

Plan for approximately three to four days of operator training.

Installation and support

Consider installation, online support and service contract options.

Expert support for in-house oligonucleotide manufacturing

Supporting organisations with instrument selection, system configuration, installation, training and ongoing technical support.

Who we support

Laboratories and organisations evaluating in-house DNA and RNA oligonucleotide synthesis. Requirements may vary based on throughput, synthesis scale, workflow needs and preferred production formats. Organisations assessing instrument footprint, laboratory setup and production requirements before implementation.

What they need

Guidance throughout instrument selection, custom configuration, installation and operation to support successful oligonucleotide manufacturing workflows. Training during installation, together with online technical support, preventative maintenance and service contract options, helps maximise instrument uptime and long term productivity.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an oligo synthesizer cost?

Pricing varies depending on the selected MerMade™ system, throughput requirements, synthesis scale and configuration options. Contact our team to discuss your requirements and request a quotation.

Which MerMade model suits my throughput?

Instrument selection depends on daily oligo volume requirements, format preferences and synthesis scale.

What oligo lengths are supported?

All MerMade synthesizers can produce oligos in the 20-60 nucleotide range.

What training is required?

Typical operator training requires approximately three to four days following installation.

When should synthesis be brought in-house?

Organisations may consider in-house synthesis when supply security, turnaround time and workflow control are priorities.
