Importance: 35/100homepage

Summary

Kilobaser offers a compact, microfluidic chip-based desktop DNA and RNA synthesizer ('Kilobaser one-Xt') that enables on-demand custom oligonucleotide synthesis in under two hours. It is marketed to life science labs as an affordable, independent alternative to commercial oligo ordering services. The product represents a democratization of DNA synthesis technology with potential dual-use biosecurity implications.

Key Points

  • World's first microfluidic chip and cartridge-based personal DNA & RNA synthesizer for benchtop use
  • Produces custom DNA/RNA oligos, primers, and probes on demand in under 2 hours
  • Modular reagent cartridge system supports standard DNA, modified RNA (2'-MOE), fluorescent labels (6-FAM), and biotin
  • Democratizes oligonucleotide synthesis by removing dependence on external suppliers, raising biosecurity screening concerns
  • Testimonials from academic and commercial researchers across multiple countries indicate growing global adoption

 Amitabha Sarkar, PhD

 Research Engineer at MatMaCorp “The Kilobaser is amazing [..] It’s easy to use and does its job. Getting it delivered to my lab was a really nice surprise. [..] I like our Kilobaser.”

 Tam Yew Joon, PhD

 Chief Scientific Officer at Biogenes Technologies Pvt. Ltd. "Kilobaser is certainly a game-changer in the world of oligo synthesis and we are proud to be a part of this revolutionary journey"

 Sérgio Nozawa, PhD

 CSO & Gov. Affairs at Evolutta Agro Biotech “[Until now] I tried to build small oligos around 20 to 25 oligos and everything went very well. […] Generally, I am very very satisfied with the product. It is the first Kilobaser in Brazil."

 Dr. Flavia Gama Gomes Leite

 Virologist at IST Austria “We tested Kilobaser and were very satisfied with the results. PCRs were successfully performed and we anticipate that such an equipment would be a valuable asset to any lab that does molecular cloning.”

 Rüdiger Trojok, Diplom Biologist

 Laboratory Lead at UnternehmerTUM "Kilobaser is a great product that is very much needed in times like this. It prints DNA that can be tested against samples within 2h."
