Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. (IDT), headquartered in Coralville, Iowa, is a supplier of custom nucleic acids, serving the areas of academic research, biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, and pharmaceutical development. IDT's primary business is the manufacturing of custom DNA and RNA oligonucleotides (oligos) for research applications.
Joseph A. Walder, M.D., Ph.D. (Northwestern University), founded Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. in 1987 through a partnership with Baxter Healthcare Corporation at the University of Iowa Technology Innovation Center business incubator. In its first 10 years, IDT grew from a startup with 10 synthesizing machines to a small company with more than 500, shipping an average 75,000 custom oligos per day to more than 82,000 customers worldwide. In March 2018, IDT was acquired by Danaher Corporation for a reported $1.9 billion.
Mission
IDT's mission is to enable discovery in biology and medicine. The company strives to achieve this by improving nucleic acid synthesis technology and developing new applications for the use of DNA- and RNA-based compounds. IDT's advanced synthesis group combines expertise in chemistry, molecular biology, and engineering to produce and purify complex nucleic acids of all kinds.{{Cite web |url=http://www.public.iastate.edu/~biocareerday/idt.html |title=ISU Biotech Career Day – Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc |access-date=2008-08-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081121174743/http://www.public.iastate.edu/~biocareerday/idt.html |archive-date=2008-11-21 |url-status=dead }}
SciTools
Synthetic oligonucleotides are used in various molecular biology applications, e.g., polymerase chain reaction (PCR), molecular beacons, microarrays, mutagenesis, RNAi, antisense and gene synthesis. Published bioinformatics algorithms can predict biophysical properties of oligonucleotides from their sequence and estimate oligonucleotide performance in specific assays, when used singly or together with other sequences. IDT's SciTools is a free online suite of computational software tools that enable molecular biologists to design, evaluate and make informed decisions about the properties of nucleic acid sequences. Instructions and help to each software tool can be found at the top of web input forms. The code is regularly updated when more accurate models and algorithms are published.{{cite journal |vauthors=Owczarzy R, Tataurov AV, Wu Y, etal |title=IDT SciTools: a suite for analysis and design of nucleic acid oligomers |journal=Nucleic Acids Res. |volume=36 |issue=Web Server issue |pages=W163–9 |date=July 2008 |pmid=18440976 |pmc=2447751 |doi=10.1093/nar/gkn198 }}
