Summary
The SYNTAX System by DNA Script is a benchtop enzymatic DNA synthesis (EDS) platform that enables rapid, on-demand synthesis of custom oligonucleotides without traditional phosphoramidite chemistry. It democratizes access to DNA synthesis by allowing labs to produce custom DNA sequences in hours rather than days. This capability represents a dual-use biosecurity concern as it lowers barriers to synthesizing potentially dangerous genetic sequences.
Key Points
- •Benchtop enzymatic DNA synthesis platform enabling on-demand oligo production without outsourcing to synthesis companies
- •Significantly reduces turnaround time for custom DNA sequences from days/weeks to hours
- •Removes traditional gatekeeping mechanisms that centralized synthesis providers could use to screen dangerous sequences
- •Represents a dual-use technology with legitimate research applications but biosecurity risk implications
- •Relevant to debates about biosecurity screening requirements and governance of decentralized DNA synthesis

Powered by Enzymatic DNA Synthesis (EDS) Technology, the SYNTAX System is a DNA printer that enables on-demand synthesis of custom DNA oligos in a benchtop solution. Designed for speed, convenience, flexibility, and ease of use, SYNTAX enables you to create custom oligos in your own lab without the need for specialized infrastructure or technical skills.
Printing your own DNA oligos on-site can give you more control over workflows, sequencing information, and security, and mitigates delays and other logistical challenges from third-party manufacturing. Enjoy higher productivity, more predictable project schedules, and fewer hidden costs to accelerate the pace of innovation and fuel discoveries.

Simple, Guided Setup Lets Anyone Print Oligos from Anywhere
Printing oligos is simple with the SYNTAX System. The SYNTAX System comes with an integrated touchscreen and on-board computer running the SYNTAX System Software. With the System Software, users are guided through the steps to start a run in 15 to 30 minutes. Once a run starts, the System Software automates all of the synthesis, post-processing, and concentration normalization of the oligos.
More powerful yet still simple, Console Software lets users interact wit
