Addgene is a nonprofit plasmid repository located in Watertown, Massachusetts. Addgene’s mission is to accelerate research and discovery by improving access to useful research materials and information. Addgene facilitates the sharing of high-quality scientific materials, research reproducibility, and open science by archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Addgene’s repository contains over 70,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, chemogenetics, optogenetics, and viral plasmids. All plasmids in Addgene’s repository were deposited by your scientific colleagues from around the world. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. Addgene also provides ready-to-use AAV and lentiviral preparations of commonly requested plasmids as a service to scientists. Addgene offers free online educational resources and protocols about molecular biology topics such as common vector backbones, cloning, CRISPR, AAV and lentivirus production, and science careers. These resources include the Addgene blog, eBooks, guides, videos, and a podcast series.

Custom Peptide Specialists
Bio-Synthesis has been a provider of Peptide Synthesis services to the life science research community since 1984. We offer a complete range of premium quality peptide products ranging from bulk API polypeptides to high throughput library peptides and peptide array preparation. We also provide a large number of peptide modifications as well as peptide synthesis for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Bio-Synthesis specializes in both, liquid phase and solid phase fmoc peptide synthesis chemistry. We have a long standing record in preparing biologically active polypeptides including long, complex and hydrophobic peptides synthesized to your specifications.

Custom Oligonucleotide Specialists
As a pioneer in oligonucleotide synthesis, Bio-Synthesis has been pursuing the development of new oligonucleotide-based techniques that can produce compounds with superior binding affinity and chemical/biological stability. As such, Bio-Synthesis has introduced a third generation of nucleic acid analogs, Bridged Nucleic Acid (BNA). These are RNA analogues which can be synthesized and spiked with DNA or RNA in order to modify the formation of nucleic acid helices.

BioTX Automation, Inc. engages in the development, manufacture, and marketing of personal automation tools for use with reagent kits, and for error elimination in forensic, life sciences research, drug discovery, microarray, and diagnostics labs, as well as biological product manufacturers. BioTX operates in three market segments, Lab Products, Custom Automation and Marketing Tools. The Lab Product segment provides personal automation systems for the eradication of Fillaphobia (the fear of putting the wrong sample into the wrong well of a microplate) in DNA forensic, molecular biology, cell biology, and drug discovery labs. The Custom Automation product line includes rapid prototyped tools used with robots to automate various lab protocols. In addition, this segment provides custom engineering and instrument integration services. We have developed robotic tooling for blood card punching and Petri dish plating. The Marketing Tools segment offers an on-line web based searchable database of life sciences researchers, as well as researcher lists by keyword and emailing services for companies that sell to life science researchers. The company offers its products to the life sciences research market and the biopharmaceutical production market directly, and through distributors or agents in approximately 6 countries. BioTX was founded in 2003 and is based 35 miles north of Houston in Conroe, Texas.
