SGI-DNA, a Synthetic Genomics Inc. announced that the first DNA printer, the BioXp™ 3200 System, release of the BioXp™ cloning module. Users of the BioXp™ System cloning module may focus on DNA analytics and discovery, instead of the traditional time- and labor-intensive steps involved in DNA cloning. Simply stated, the BioXp™ System automates and expedites DNA cloning, a procedure used in nearly every academic and commercial molecular biology laboratory worldwide.

The BioXp™ genomic workstation generates high-quality, linear DNA fragments from custom designed oligonucleotide pools and reagents. Now, with the introduction of the cloning module, the BioXp™ System has the additional capability to simultaneously deliver up to 24 circular DNA clones from custom DNA sequences. The launch of this first-of-its-kind module allows researchers to obtain cloned de novo DNA fragments in the laboratory virtually hands-free, further automating and shortening molecular biology work flows.

BioXp™ 3200 System Future Plans were: the instrument's multifunctional deck enables the machine to be upgraded to automate molecular biology workflows even more fully over time. Currently customers can order the machine, have it installed, and begin making DNA clones in a matter of weeks. SGI-DNA works closely with customers to optimize their use of the machine and has a complete line of DNA synthesis products and services which complement the BioXp™ 3200 System.
