IDT Partners With Ansa to Enable Long, High-Complexity DNA Constructs up to 50 kb
Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), a Danaher company, has announced a strategic collaboration with Ansa Biotechnologies to expand its synthetic biology capabilities.
The partnership adds Clonal DNA and XL Clonal DNA products, ranging from 100 bp to 50 kb, to IDT’s portfolio, enabling researchers to build longer, more complex, sequence-perfect DNA constructs.
What This Collaboration Delivers?
The IDT–Ansa collaboration directly addresses key bottlenecks in advanced DNA synthesis.
Core capabilities now available to IDT customers:
Sequence-verified DNA constructs up to 50 kb
Improved handling of GC-rich, repetitive, and complex motifs
Reduced rework, troubleshooting, and downstream risk
Faster turnaround for challenging designs
These capabilities support research in:
Cell and gene therapy discovery
Vaccine development
Agrigenomics and synthetic biology
Why It Matters for Researchers?
Research complexity is increasing faster than traditional DNA synthesis capabilities.
By combining strengths:
IDT brings nearly 40 years of quality, scale, and global reach
Ansa contributes a breakthrough enzymatic DNA synthesis platform
The result is a new standard for speed, precision, and reliability in long-form DNA synthesis.
Each construct is optimized and verified for:
GC content balance
Homopolymers
Repetitive sequences
Leadership Perspective
Ajay Gannerkote, President, Integrated DNA Technologies:
“Customers face unprecedented complexity in their research. This partnership ensures they can rely on IDT across every dimension of DNA synthesis complexity.”
Jason T. Gammack, CEO, Ansa Biotechnologies:
“We were founded to solve the hardest problems in DNA synthesis—length, complexity, and reliability. Together with IDT, those barriers are coming down.”
Ansa’s Differentiation: Enzymatic DNA Synthesis
Ansa’s proprietary platform redefines how long DNA is made.
Key advantages:
Enzymatic synthesis, not chemical
No harsh reagents, preserving DNA integrity
Capable of longer, higher-complexity constructs
Manufactured exclusively in the United States
Ansa also operates under a rigorous biosecurity framework, fully aligned with the U.S. OSTP Nucleic Acid Synthesis Screening guidelines.
Strengthening IDT’s Synthetic Biology Portfolio
This collaboration reflects IDT’s evolution:
From oligonucleotide supplier
To a full-spectrum genomics and synthetic biology provider
By integrating Ansa’s technology, IDT positions itself as a single partner for simple oligos to ultra-long, complex DNA constructs, accelerating translation from lab research to real-world impact.
