manufacture_protocol: CustomArray™ uses a specially modified “CMOS” semiconductor to direct the molecular assembly of a specific sequence of DNA bases in response to a digital command. Each feature on the array (a microelectrode) is digitally addressed to selectively generate acid, by means of an electrochemical reaction which, in-turn, controls the detritylation reaction during phosphoramidite synthesis. A software program is used to control the microelectrodes, and thus, the detritylation pattern applied on the chip during synthesis.
