Gene Synthesis Safety and Regulatory Compliance

Eurofins MWG Operon screens each gene ordered to determine if the gene contains a regulated pathogen sequence. In the case that the gene contains such a regulated sequence, Eurofins MWG Operon reserves the right to reject an order and inform regulatory and law enforcement agencies.

Eurofins MWG Operon also takes necessary steps in ensure that customers who order gene synthesis products are members of bona-fide life science research or diagnostic institution. All customers must provide an institution name, billing address, shipping address, e-mail address, and telephone number. Eurofins MWG Operon does not ship any products to P.O. boxes, and every delivery requires a signature of receipt.

Eurofins MWG Operon retains records of every quote request and order of gene synthesis products for a minimum of 4 years. These records include both sequence and customer information.
