The IDT OligoCard works like a phone card, so a single purchase enables research groups to prepay for any number of future oligo orders
Integrated DNA Technologies has rolled-out its OligoCard scheme across Europe.
Each card has a unique number and Pin and can be used online to order securely, direct from the IDT website, eliminating delays due to multi-step internal order processes.
Bonnie Barney, IDT's senior VP of European sales and advertising, said: "If a researcher wants to order oligos at 18:00 on Friday, we believe they should be able to.
"With Our OligoCard they can - no paperwork, no delays, no waiting".
OligoCard can be topped up as and when required, and therefore is an excellent way of maximising grant level maintenance by allowing users to place unused funding on the cards near the end of a grant term, or to ensure that earmarked funding is used solely for oligos.
As a result, researchers will always be able to order the oligos they want to order, when they want to order them.
Account information, such as the remaining balance and all the order activity from a lab, or group of labs, can be tracked and processed very efficiently through the online interface.
Furthermore, groups can have multiple cards for different projects or funding streams and therefore establishing balances on each individual card allows for easy enforcement of credit limits.
OligoCard is the easy way to pay for oligos.
