What you need at each step
From synthesizer to biosafety cabinet, pick reagents by the job they do in your workflow. Each one links to its product page with grades, sizes and documents.
- 01
Oligo synthesis
Activator and oxidizer solutions drive each phosphoramidite coupling cycle.
- 02
Capping & wash
Cap unreacted chains and rinse columns with dry acetonitrile between steps.
- 03
Nucleic acid extraction
Separate DNA and RNA from proteins, then precipitate with alcohol.
- 04
Gels & buffers
Run agarose gels and prepare EDTA buffers for storage and electrophoresis.
- 05
Culture & lysis

SupportingWhich grade fits your workflow?
Biological work is sensitive to trace contaminants. Match the grade on the label and COA to the step — synthesis, extraction, or cleanup.
See our certifications →| Grade | What it means | For nutrient blending | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Molecular Biology | Supplied as suitable for DNA and RNA work | Yes | Nucleic acid precipitation |
| Bioreagent | Prepared for biological and oligo synthesis applications | Yes | Oligo synthesis reagents |
| ACS | Meets American Chemical Society reagent specifications | Yes — check COA | Extractions, buffer prep |
| HPLC | Low UV absorbance and residue for chromatography | Yes — check COA | Oligo purification, analysis |

What life science labs check before they buy
- Water content
- Oligo synthesis is moisture-sensitive; check ppm H2O on anhydrous acetonitrile and reagent COAs.
- Purity & grade
- Trace impurities can inhibit enzymes or degrade samples; match the grade to the assay.
- Molarity & ratio
- Confirm concentration and solvent ratio match your synthesizer or protocol specifications.
- Stabilizers
- Chloroform and some solvents contain stabilizers; check the COA if your protocol specifies one.
- Lot traceability
- Lot COAs help you track reagents across experiments and troubleshoot variable results.
Documents for your lab records
SDS library Every product, online before you order. Certificate of Analysis Lot-specific COA for your records. Certifications Kosher, Halal, Organic and RSPO on select products. Product specifications Ask customer care for specs before qualifying a new reagent.
Biosafety, chemical hygiene and waste rules vary by institution. Confirm requirements with your biosafety officer or EHS team.
From bench protocol to scale-up
Qualify a reagent on a small size, then move alcohols and solvents to drums as work scales. Same grade and documentation at every size.
