Overview of the SurePrint OLS Design Wizard

The SurePrint OLS design wizard allows you to create an oligo library by uploading the oligo sequences from a user-created file. When you place an order for your design, Agilent uses its SurePrint oligo library synthesis platform to create the oligos.

To launch the wizard for creating SurePrint OLS designs, click Create Designs > SurePrint OLS. You can also launch the wizard from the Start Designing dashboard on the Home screen.
