We offer single-step and multi-step synthesis, building blocks for combinatorial chemistry or even synthesis elaboration from concept to start-up.
Biospring
BioSpring is a chemical company which produces synthetic oligonucleotides in any quantity for all applications:
- Therapy
- Diagnostics
- Molecular biology
- Research and development
We offer our customers the entire range of modified and unmodified oligonucleotides, including RNA chimeras and/or very long DNA/ RNA molecules. You, the customer, set the limits of the nucleic acid synthesis.
Since 1997 our company has been synthesising nucleic acid products to meet the needs of a steadily changing market.
Flexible products require variable solutions without ever compromising on quality.
We have always managed to find acceptable solutions for our customers, regardless how complex the synthesis product or how large the synthesis scale required. Using the open source system designed for you, we maintain the highest degree of quality for each and every product. And, finally, our analyses give you the security that you have received what you ordered – guaranteed. [http://www.biospring.de/html/eng/index.html website]
