Azco expands its high throughput syntehesizer options by announcing the introduction of the Dr-Oligo 96 and 192 synthesizers.  Dr. Oligo synthesizers are high throughput synthesizers that allow a user to make either one or two plates of oligonucleotides in only two hours in a fully automated fashion.  The Dr. Oligo is configureable with options to meet your specific needs.  The latest enhancements allow it to be offered with low volume, "specialty monomer" ports that put the reagent very close to where it is to be used so that very little is wasted.  We continually upgrade and enhance these systems to meet the ever changing demands of the oligonucleotide industry.

Azco expands it's offering into the molecular biology laboratory by adding polymerases, DNA extraction kits, Forensic Kits, RNAi Kits and other molecular biology products.  Please see the Azco Molecular Biology Products sheet for more information.
