Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of enzymatic gene synthesis technology in the field of synthetic biology manufacturing, and specifically relates to a device for preparing a stationary phase chip for enzymatic gene synthesis. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of biotechnology in recent years, the world has moved from the molecular biology stage of utilizing nature to the synthetic biology stage of designing nature. The most critical underlying technology is template-free gene synthesis. Chemical synthesis is currently the most commonly used gene synthesis method, but due to technical limitations, this method results in shorter gene lengths, higher technical barriers, and the generation of large amounts of pollutants and VOC emissions. Therefore, it usually requires outsourcing to multiple service providers for centralized services, and convenience and confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.
[0003] Addressing the various shortcomings of chemical synthesis methods, third-generation gene synthesis technology based on enzymatic synthesis has gradually matured and entered the commercial arena. It boasts advantages such as long-fragment synthesis, virtually no technological barriers, and no chemical pollution emissions, making it a strong competitor to chemical synthesis technologies. To achieve template-free enzymatic gene synthesis, base protection techniques, such as reversible terminators, are typically used, along with specific deprotection steps. This necessitates effective separation of the gene from the solution, with anchoring it to the stationary phase surface being the most commonly employed method.
[0004] Materials that can be used as stationary phases for gene synthesis include glass, quartz, silicon wafers, and resins. Among these, glass is the most common substrate material for preparing chip stationary phases. Currently, there is no stable device on the market for preparing chip stationary phase materials.

It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
