Vandalia offers custom DNA manufacturing services using its patent-pending Triathlon production system. The Triathlon is the first system and process to enable the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to be used for the large-scale manufacturing of DNA sequences. Read about Applications.

Specificity – The Triathlon enables the replication of specific portions of a DNA molecule, important for many applications. The primary existing method for DNA production, plasmid preparation, requires a complex, multi-step, expensive and difficult to control process accompanied by certain extraneous sequences which are produced alongside the DNA of interest. This can result in 3- to 10-fold waste products being produced, significantly increasing costs.

Efficiency – Triathlon enables a DNA molecule to be selected, amplified, and optimized for production within a few days. Existing methods, such as plasmid production, require extensive optimization and lengthy down-stream processing.

Cost-Effective – Triathlon DNA is 2 to 3-fold more cost-effective than plasmid production, and up to 10-fold more cost effective than the standard PCR process. This allows the company to compete for business across a wide range of applications.
