DNAMIC integrates a writer, a reader and a data management layer so DNA storage behaves like infrastructure, not a lab process.
A photolithographic DNA synthesis system that builds each strand base by base, using light-directed chemistry developed with Kilobaser/MABEAL.
Photolithography is the same microfabrication process that patterns every chip in a semiconductor fab, aimed at a different substrate. Instead of etching a circuit, we use light to control, base by base, which DNA letter gets added next, at millions of points in parallel.
Some approaches in this space put DNA-synthesis chemistry onto a silicon chip. We take the opposite route: the chip industry's own patterning process, writing DNA directly. No chip sits in the data path.
An automated DNA reading module built for archival retrieval rather than one-shot sequencing: physical random access to a specific record, not a full-archive read, out of the same pool of stored DNA.
It's built sequencer-agnostic by design, so it isn't locked to one instrument or one vendor's roadmap, and it's automated end to end, so running it doesn't require a specialist. Someone who has never touched a sequencer can operate it on site.
Built on OLOS/DLCM with the University of Geneva and HES-SO, managing metadata to the same OAIS standard used by national archives and libraries.
The dual-encoding architecture keeps the payload and the metadata separate: the DNA sequence carries the payload, the physical fold carries the metadata, so metadata can be updated without rewriting the sequence itself. That's the same index/fold structure that makes random-access retrieval possible, and what makes the technology relevant beyond archival storage.

Stable at room temperature, no migration cycle.
A given weight of DNA holds more data than any engineered material.
Spread across billions of molecules, an inherent form of protection.
