Help Guides

Step-by-step help for every tool: inputs, settings, examples and results. Each guide also explains which tools it can send data to, what is transferred, why to use the next tool, and when to copy results manually.

Plasmid Editor (Beta)

Open annotated DNA, edit bases and features, review deletions, and save projects or export sequence files and SVG, PNG or JPEG maps.

Open guide

PCR Primer Designer

Design PCR primers with a fixed binding length or target Tm, add optional cloning tails, and send the pair for a binding check.

Open guide

Primer Binding Checker

Map exact forward and reverse primer binding sites, identify 5' tails and additional matches, and predict PCR product size.

Open guide

Primer Scan (Beta)

Screen existing primers against a host or custom reference, review gene context where available, and flag host products close to an expected PCR size.

Open guide

Sanger Primer Designer

Design up to 10 Sanger primer pairs, plan primer walking, assess read coverage, check mutation positions, and validate template binding.

Open guide

Assembly PCR Primer Designer (Beta)

Design assembly PCR primers for NEBuilder HiFi, GeneArt, In-Fusion and overlap PCR. Set fragment order, overlaps and optional linkers.

Open guide

Gibson Assembly Primer Designer (Beta)

Design Gibson assembly primers online. Set vector ends, order DNA fragments, edit overlaps and export primers and the assembled plasmid sequence.

Open guide

Site-Directed Mutagenesis Primer Designer (Beta)

Choose Overlap PCR, Overlap assembly or Inverse PCR for nucleotide substitutions, then review the primers and reaction plan.

Open guide

Restriction Site Analyzer

Use the restriction mapper to compare enzymes, predict digest fragments, and review linear or circular maps and a virtual gel.

Open guide

Reverse Complement Tool

Generate reverse-complement, complement or reversed DNA from plain-text, FASTA or GenBank input, with IUPAC ambiguity codes.

Open guide

ORF Finder and Protein Translator

Find open reading frames, translate DNA to protein, or reverse-translate a protein into possible or degenerate coding DNA.

Open guide

Codon Optimizer

Optimize a coding sequence for a selected host while preserving the protein, then review codon changes, GC content, and primer options.

Open guide

DNA Ligation Calculator

Calculate insert DNA mass for a vector-insert ligation from fragment lengths, vector mass, and the target insert-to-vector molar ratio.

Open guide

Molarity Calculator

Calculate single-solute mass, molarity, final volume, and g/L; convert protein molarity with kDa; or build multi-solute recipes.

Open guide

Buffer Calculator

Prepare named buffers by concentration, volume, and target pH, using acid/base calculations or fixed templates for PBS, TBS, TAE, TBE, SSC, and TE.

Open guide

Dilution Calculator

Calculate C1V1 stock dilutions or antibody working solutions from 1:N ratios or stock-to-target concentrations, with small-volume guidance.
