OUR TECHNOLOGY
Conventional production processes face limitations in both the scale & length of single-stranded DNA.
At gxstrands, we overcome these limitations through our advanced fermentation-based technology that utilizes rolling circle amplification of phagemid DNA in E. coli. This approach enables us to produce extensive single-stranded DNA sequences, reaching lengths of up to 10,000 nucleotides, on a large scale. Our patented production process, which utilizes specialized DNA enzymes, guarantees unparalleled precision, producing single-stranded DNA free from undesired residues or backbones, with the sole exception of an AG at the 5' end.
Consequently, our ssDNA is suitable for a wide range of applications, including the precision-oriented field of DNA origami and the groundbreaking area of gene editing.
OUR STORY
gxstrands emerged from the scarcity of single-stranded DNA in DNA origami research. Given the high cost of single-stranded DNA, there was a necessity to develop alternative production methods. Now, we offer a novel fermentation-based technology for single-stranded DNA production that not only ensures quality but also removes previous limitations on research scalability. Our single-stranded DNA, designed for a broad spectrum of applications, is utilized in fields like gene editing research, DNA origami, and numerous other emerging areas.
