Founded in 1984, Bio-Synthesis, Inc. was known as OCS Laboratories. It was the first producer of commercially available synthetic DNA and in 1985, became a producer of synthetic peptides. Five years later, in 1989, OCS became incorporated as Bio-Synthesis, Inc. and moved its laboratories to Lewisville. Bio-Synthesis occupies 10,000 square feet of modern laboratory space (completed in 1995) located 20 miles from downtown Dallas and 10 miles from D/FW airport. Among the surrounding academic institutions are: University of Texas Southwestern Medical School (12 miles), University of North Texas (10 miles), and University of North Texas Medical Center (25 miles). They provide excellent library resources. Since then, Bio-Synthesis has steadily expanded its product lines and services to meet the growing needs of the Molecular Biology community. It has maintained its position as an aggressive, innovative company in a highly competitive marketplace without sacrificing quality. In the beginning, our primary emphasis was on synthesizing high quality DNA primers and linkers which were the initial uses of oligos. Today, newer technologies, such as synthesis of gene construction, PCR, mutagenesis, combinatorial libraries, dye/adduct labeling, DNA microarrays, peptide-nucleic acid chimerics, etc, have challenged the molecular biology field. In response, Bio-Synthesis has branched into several related areas such as DNA paternity testing, DNA HLA typing, PNA's, genomic sequencing, fluorescence based genotyping, custom organic synthesis and other molecular biology based applications.


The Research and Development department comprises a number of Ph.D.'s and M.D.'s with backgrounds in molecular biology, immunology, nucleic acids, peptide synthesis, general organic chemistry, and automated amino acid sequencing.  The Molecular Biology Division is set up to handle most modern experimental procedures; The Immunology Division provides immunodiagnostic-based reagent.

Not only has Bio-Synthesis continued to provide quality DNA products and services for the research community, but it has also become a world leader in providing custom peptide products and services. Using state-of-the-art solid phase peptide chemistries, Bio-Synthesis provides high quality peptides, carrier conjugation, antipeptide antibody production, antigenic peptide design, long peptides, modified peptides, MALDI TOF analysis contract research, consultation services and more.

Biomedical researchers worldwide in universities, biotech companies, private clinics, and government agencies use products from Bio-Synthesis, Inc. in studies ranging from PCR diagnostics to cancer research and the Human Genome Project.
