Meeting the Need for Speed

The demand for high-throughput, quick-turnaround oligos has grown in response to shifts in research and funding. On the commercial side, life science companies compete in a high-pressure, high-stakes environment with tight timelines for product development. Procuring large amounts of highly-specific oligonucleotides at an accelerated rate has become critical to fuel progress. The "publish or perish" pressure of the academic world has always made speed important. However, a new era of qPCR-based research has emerged in the wake of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, narrowing the focus of the usually broad research sector, creating even greater competition. The race is on.

Eurofins Genomics has always been a customer-centric company, focused on advancing the needs of the scientific community. As scientists called for faster delivery, we allocated more operational capacity to fast-turnaround products to meet both small and large volume orders.

By the Numbers

*Based on sample tests of 5 tube oligos, at 28 bases each.

Additional Restrictions

• Mon-Fri only, cut-off time is 5:00 pm ET. Friday orders will be delivered Monday, not over the weekend. Express Oligo ordering is not available on Saturday or Sunday. Orders for oligos placed after 5:00 pm EST will be processed as standard oligos.
• Overnight delivery of the oligo is dependent on successful QC validation. Errors or failed sequences will result in a delay or separate shipments.*OD guarantees are for 20-mers and above*Total cost is based on the average order size and length.
• Must Login BEFORE visiting the order page. If you do not login, or login after the order is already in your cart, it will not be considered express.
• Cannot be combined with other items, such as standard oligos.

How to Order Express Oligos (tubes)

Express Oligos are now ordered from the normal, tube oligo order page found HERE.

To order an Express Oligo^TM, simply type in the sequence and add to cart on the custom oligos in tubes order page. An Express Oligo^TM will be automatically indicated using a green text that appears below the name of the Oligo and inform when the oligo can be delivered. For an oligo to qualify as an Express Oligo^TM, the following conditions must be met. This express service will become a normal part of the synthesis process.

1. Login to your account. Express Oligos are only available if you have an account. It does not apply to guest users.

2. Go to the normal Custom Oligos in Tubes from the Order Now menu in the top toolbar.

3. Enter your oligo name and sequence as normal. If it meets the requirements for Express Oligo service, you will see a green message appear under the oligo name. If you do not see a green message, then most likely the oligo does not meet the requirements for express service.

NOTE: You must choose “Overnight Shipping” for the oligos to be delivered the next day. Otherwise, the oligos will still be synthesized the same day but mailed using standard 2-day delivery.
