The IIHG Genomics Division provides custom oligonucleotides and synthetic DNA ordering supplied by Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) to University of Iowa investigators. The Division has negotiated a bulk-rate discount with IDT, which is passed along to orders placed through the division’s on-line ordering system. The discounted pricing is reflected on IDT's website as the user shops.

• Access to the on-line ordering system requires that an investigator first set up an account with the IIHG Genomics Division.
• To set up an account, please email iihg-genomics@uiowa.edu.
• Logon to the online ordering system using their HawkID and password.
• Once the user has logged on, the user is ported to IDT's web site to shop and place their order.
• IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU SUBMIT YOUR CART AND CHECK OUT COMPLETELY OR THE ORDER WILL NOT BE PROCESSED.
• A confirmation e-mail will be sent. Please contact us at iihg-genomics@uiowa.edu if you do not receive an e-mail confirmation.
