Research scale oligonucleotides are sold (by convention) by the starting scale, not the delivered amount. The reason is that each oligonucleotide is different, and will result in different yields, although the cost of material and labor is equivalent for similar constructs with the same starting scale. Therefore, the price is based on actual cost. If you need a defined amount of an oligonucleotide, please note clearly on your order that you are ordering based on the final quantity. We will then determine the scale needed to deliver that amount and price your oligo accordingly.
