General Information

All Morpholino orders must be placed using either the online order form, or the fax order form. The majority of the orders are shipped within two weeks

Disclaimer
While our and others experience indicate that Morpholino oligos typically outperform other antisense structural types by a wide margin, nonetheless, because of the great variability among genes and cells, Gene Tools makes no warranty as to the performance of either Gene Tools-designed or customer-selected Morpholino oligos in any given biological system.
