Microsynth AG

Company Mission It is Microsynth's mission to be a leading service and solution provider for molecular biologists who require either high-quality DNA/RNA oligonucleotides, sophisticated DNA/RNA sequencing & analysis solutions, or want to outsource entire research projects.

History Microsynth was founded in 1989 by Dr Tobias Schmidheini and is currently active in three different business areas. When Dr Schmidheini started to produce DNA oligonucleotides on behalf of Swiss academic institutes and the pharma industry in 1989, he became one of the pioneers in this area. Meanwhile the company is offering its worldwide customers any kind of DNA /RNA oligonucleotides. By 1992, the company had entered the business field of DNA sequencing. Today, Microsynth is well-positioned also in this area, and is able to offer its customers both traditional Sanger sequencing services, as well as state-of-the art next generation sequencing (NGS) services. The third business area (contract research/outsourcing) is essentially a combination of DNA /RNA synthesis with DNA sequencing alongside other expert areas such as DNA /RNA isolation, PCR and genotyping. Customers can rely on application specialists with outstanding track records in academia as well as Microsynth's expertise in high-throughput logistics. Microsynth has subsidiaries in Germany (Microsynth Seqlab), Austria (Microsynth Austria) and Switzerland (ecogenics) and serves more than 15,000 customers worldwide.
