The Gibson SOLA® Platform: Your Digital-to-Biological Converter
Unlike traditional phosphoramidite or TDT synthesis, the Gibson SOLA® Platform uses an innovative hybridization-based, block assembly method that fundamentally changes the way you synthesize DNA.
With Gibson SOLA®, you can:
- Produce 10s to 100s of kb of high-quality DNA.
- Reduce synthesis time from weeks to under 24 hours.
- Eliminate the need for dedicated, costly HPLC columns.
- Enable on-demand, in-house production of DNA directly in your lab.
- Achieve high-fidelity plasmid synthesis with >95% error-free clones.
Biomek Echo One System: Automation Engineered for Synthesis
The Biomek Echo One Gene Synthesis Solution is specifically designed to automate the Gibson SOLA® workflow efficiently and reliably. It integrates industry-leading technology to provide walk-away capability and precision.
Featuring:
Echo 525 Acoustic Liquid Handler

Delivers non-contact, nanoliter-scale dispensing critical for rapid pooling and normalization steps, ensuring accuracy without tip-based errors
Biomek i7 Hybrid Workstation

Provides full walk-away automation capacity, integrating advanced pipetting, thermal cycling, incubation, and automated labware handling
Intelligent Software Control (SAMI)
The powerful SAMI EX software orchestrates complex workflows, enabling streamlined method execution and flexible customization via features like:
- Guided Labware Setup (GLS): Simplifies deck setup and reduces errors
- DeckOptix Final Check (DFC): Visually confirms deck layout before runs
- Method Options Selector (MOS): Allows easy customization of protocols for specific needs
