"Turnaround time is normally 2 days from ordering, and the data sheet gives microgram quantity, and how much to dissolve in for 100uM. We have ordered many dozens of oligos, and they have worked great in making many clones over the last few years. The one or two times over years an order was lost, they replaced the order quickly with no questions."
