What Is Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) and What Does Its EU Website Offer?

Updated

Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) is a genomics and DNA synthesis provider, and eu.idtdna.com is its European-facing site for ordering custom oligonucleotides, reagents, and assay products. It is aimed primarily at life-science researchers and lab purchasers who need synthesized oligos or genomics research tools rather than consumer products. The site is transactional as well as informational: you can browse product lines, place orders, and manage an account, with pricing shown in USD in the version captured here.

What IDT is

IDT describes itself as offering a DNA synthesis platform, genomics research tools, and customization options. On the EU site, that translates into product families spanning custom DNA and RNA oligos, modifications, GMP oligos, reagents, and PCR/qPCR/dPCR assays.

What the EU site offers

Custom oligos and reagents

  • Custom DNA oligos — standard DNA oligos, Ultramer DNA oligos, oligo pools, SameDay oligos, HotPlates, Rapid HPLC oligos, TruGrade DNA oligos, mixed bases, Affinity Plus DNA oligonucleotides, and normalized oligos.
  • Custom RNA oligos — RNA oligos, Ultramer RNA oligos, and Affinity Plus RNA oligonucleotides.
  • Oligo modifications — attachment chemistry and linkers, fluorophores and dark quenchers, modified bases, phosphorylation, spacers, click chemistry modifications, and phosphorothioate bonds.
  • Custom GMP oligos and nuclease-free reagents, including nuclease detection and control products.
  • OligoCard — a format for ordering and managing oligos.

A stated service detail: more than 90% of standard desalted orders ship within 24 hours, and orders are quality checked by ESI-MS.

PCR, qPCR, and dPCR products

  • Custom qPCR and dPCR probes, including PrimeTime qPCR probes, PrimeTime custom probe-based assays, Affinity Plus qPCR probes, PrimeTime LNA qPCR probes, molecular beacons, GMP primers and probes, and MGB Eclipse probes.
  • PrimeTime Pathogen Research Panels — positioned as flexible target selection with easy ordering.
  • Predesigned PCR-based assays — PrimeTime Gene Expression Assays, PrimeTime Pathogen Research Panels, PrimeTime Sexual Health Research Panels, the rhAmp SNP Genotyping System, and PACE SNP Genotyping Assays, plus a predesigned gene expression assay tool.
  • Master mixes and reagents — PrimeTime Gene Expression Master Mix, PrimeTime One-Step 4X Broad-Range Master Mix, PrimeTime One-Step RT-qPCR Master Mix, rhAmp Genotyping Master Mix and Reporter Mixes, RNase H2 enzyme, and oligo length standards.

Account and ordering features

The site exposes Quick Order, sign-in, My Account, Order History, Wishlist, LabLinker, OligoCards, and a cart. There is also an "Ask a Scientist" route for questions about an oligo order, whether a quick question or a custom project.

Who it is for

The audience is research and laboratory users: scientists ordering custom oligos, labs running qPCR/dPCR workflows, and purchasers managing orders and accounts. The product mix (GMP oligos, quality-checked synthesis, assay panels) points to professional research use.

Practical notes

  • Pricing signals on the site include a Payment Information support page; the captured interface shows "EN $ USD," so check currency and payment terms for your region before ordering.
  • For order-specific questions, the site directs users to Ask a Scientist rather than a general contact form.
  • Webinars, articles, and customer stories are available for background on applications and product use.
