美国集成DNA技术公司（Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc.）
Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT)是美国最大的代客合成核酸供货商，为生物科技、临床诊断和制药方面的学术单位、政府和商业研究单位提供服务。IDT产品对合成DNA或RNA微小部分很重要，产品用途包括基因疾病诊断测试(如乳癌和囊胞性纤维症)、研发新药和治疗法，以及制造更安全、产量更丰富的农业产品。
IDT在这个高度竞争的产业中，过去十年中每年都能达到两位数的成长。时至今日，公司每天接到全球77,000名客户电话，平均代客合成并出货36,000份寡核酸。IDT使用自行设计开发的化学DNA合成机制造寡核酸。机器和制造流程是让公司具备竞争力的最高机密。
IDT企业应用协理Bob Schafbuch表示：「我们针对重点改进流程，让我们可以最晚在下午3点接受订单。CST和送货员在隔天早上将寡核酸送到研究员手上，不过比较复杂的产品需要更长的来回时间。」IDT的制造地点包括美国爱荷华州科勒尔维尔、加州圣地亚哥和比利时鲁汶。

Since 1987, Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) has been a major force in advancing biotechnology research both as a leading supplier of custom oligonucleotides and a developer of innovative new biotechnologies. Researchers select IDT as their custom oligonucleotide supplier of choice for quality, service and price. Over 77,000 customers worldwide trust IDT for dependable products of the highest quality.

In 2001, IDT dramatically expanded its manufacturing capacity and further enhanced its high-throughput synthesis division. IDT now routinely fulfills large-volume orders consisting of hundreds of thousands of oligonucleotides, while still maintaining quality controls that are second to none. Today, every oligo synthesized is tested by mass spectrometry and must pass strict quality control guidelines to be shipped to the customer. In addition to improving the quality of custom synthesized DNA, IDT has dramatically shortened turnaround times by offering a variety of expedited services, such as SameDay® oligo synthesis, Rapid HPLCTM purification services, HOTplatesTM and Express DLPTM products.

In addition to DNA, IDT has led the effort over the last decade to reduce the cost of high-quality custom RNA synthesis. Through improvements to the traditional tBDMS chemistry and advances in instrumentation, IDT has achieved the highest coupling efficiency in the industry. Only at IDT are customers guaranteed the very best in quality synthesis with free mass spectrometry and CE traces on all purified RNA oligos.

In 2005, IDT's manufacturing headquarters achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification. IDT's success in achieving certification reflects the strength of its existing product quality procedures, as well as its clear commitment to the manufacturing excellence and the ongoing development of its quality management system. It also signifies the continuing commitment of IDT's management to strengthen the company's ability to identify and meet the needs and evolving expectations of its customers.

Also in 2005, IDT acquired oligonucleotide provider Genbase and began manufacturing at its West Coast operations facility. IDT now accepts orders until 11p.m. ET. With more capacity and extended business hours, IDT provides the fastest, most reliable service worldwide.

In early 2006, IDT completed a large expansion of its manufacturing headquarters facility. With 77,000 square feet added to IDT's already state-of-the-art facility (bringing the total square footage to 134,000) no oligonucleotide supplier is better equipped to fulfill the requests of researchers. From oligos in plates to Dicer-substrate RNAi duplexes in TriFECTaTM kits, IDT offers the best quality, customer service and turnaround time.

In late 2006, IDT acquired the Leuven, Belgium company RNA-TEC. The strategic European acquisition of RNA-TEC (Integrated DNA Technologies, BVBA) bolstered IDT's product offerings in large-scale RNA synthesis and purification, particularly in the Dicer-substrate RNAi (DsiRNA) field and focusing on large-scale DsiRNA for compounds for large screens and animal studies. IDT, BVBA is also proficient in ribozyme and DNA/RNA aptamer products, as well as standard DNA small-scale offerings.

 

Innovation, Ongoing Research and Development

In line with IDT's mission to advance research in DNA-based technologies, the research staff at IDT combines expertise in synthetic chemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, bioinformatics and engineering. IDT specializes in the areas of gene silencing based on RNAi, ddRNAi and antisense technologies, transcription profiling, DNA sequencing and SNP detection, microarray analysis and DNA amplification. This expertise has led to research and development collaborations with many leading biotechnology companies and academic laboratories.

IDT's Commitment

IDT continuously strives to bring customers the best in oligonucleotide synthesis, quality control and customer service. The staff and scientists at IDT are dedicated to insure the satisfaction of customers by providing many convenient benefits.
 

IDT's Quality Policy

Products released to market will be of the highest quality, produced on time, and supported by professional customer service.
