Evonetix’s technology enables the parallel synthesis of DNA on silicon arrays, to facilitate the fast-emerging field of synthetic biology, where there is increasing demand for high-throughput and highly accurate DNA synthesis.

Round Peg Cambridge has been closely involved with Evonetix since the company was founded. Working in partnership with the company’s engineering teams, Round Peg Cambridge has been designing and developing solutions for their DNA synthesis prototypes.

As Evonetix has expanded, its suite of prototype instruments, and their size and complexity, has grown. The success of the company’s initial breadboard prototype and its enclosure spawned a new project with Round Peg Cambridge to upgrade the enclosure design.
