How long does it take to make a custom gene?
Synthesis time depends on the length of the custom gene.
| Length of custom gene | Time to ship after order confirmation (business days) |
|---|---|
| Up to 500 bp | 8 |
| 501–1500 bp | 12 |
| 1501–3000 bp | 18 |
| 3001–5000 bp | 25 |
| More than 5000 bp | Inquire* |
* Longer sequences may take additional time depending on their length and complexity. Email genes@idtdna.com to submit sequences longer than 5000 bp for an official review and quote, including an estimated turnaround time.
