OligoAnalyzer™ Tool

Understand the expected properties of your oligos before you order them.

  • Calculator for GC content, melting temperature (Tm), molecular weight, extinction coefficient, µg/OD, nmol/OD, and more
  • Identify secondary structure potential
  • Minimize dimerization
  • Use NCBI BLAST™

Research-friendly oligo calculator

Flexible input and advanced parameters to optimize your custom order:

  • Enter your primer or other oligo sequence
  • Adjust calculation options if desired
  • Choose a function:

    • Select ANALYZE for easy, one-click access to a Tm calculator, GC content calculator, extinction coefficient calculator, and more.
    • Predict oligo secondary structure or possible duplexes with HAIRPIN, SELF-DIMER, and HETERO-DIMER options.
    • Search for matches to your input oligo sequence in the NCBI BLAST database.
    • Explore mismatch and melting temperature variations with the TM MISMATCH option.
