IDT OligoCards: Oligos the Easy Way

19 Mar 2008

Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), a world leader in oligonucleotide production, has today announced that its unique and successful OligoCard scheme is being rolled-out across Europe. The IDT OligoCard works like a phone card, so a single purchase enables research groups to prepay for any number of future oligo orders. Each card has a unique number and PIN and can be used online to order securely, direct from the IDT website, eliminating delays due to multi-step internal order processes.

Bonnie Barney, IDT’s Sr. VP of European Sales and Advertising said, “If a researcher wants to order oligos at 18:00 on Friday, we believe they should be able to. With Our OligoCard they can – no paperwork, no delays, no waiting.”

OligoCard can be topped up as and when required, and therefore is an excellent way of maximizing grant level maintenance by allowing users to place unused funding on the cards near the end of a grant term, or to ensure that earmarked funding is used solely for oligos. As a result, researchers will always be able to order the oligos they want to order, when they want to order them.

Account information, such as the remaining balance and all the order activity from a lab, or group of labs, can be tracked and processed very efficiently through the online interface. Furthermore, groups can have multiple cards for different projects or funding streams and therefore establishing balances on each individual card allows for easy enforcement of credit limits.

OligoCard is the easy way to pay for oligos.
