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.
