DNA manufacturing, storage, and access system

A system comprising:

• a synthesis unit chamber comprising at least one wafer mounted within the synthesis unit chamber and having a plurality of physically-distinct substrates on the wafer for solid-phase synthesis of DNA, the synthesis unit chamber having a fluid input to receive fluids and a fluid output to remove fluids;
• a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) module fluidically coupled to the fluid output of the synthesis unit chamber, the PCR module comprising a reaction chamber and a fluidic flow path having an inlet and outlet, wherein the reaction chamber is configured to receive DNA from the synthesis unit chamber and PCR reagents and the fluidic flow path is configured to circulate liquid around the reaction chamber to perform PCR amplification of the DNA thereby generating amplified DNA;
• a deposition unit fluidically coupled to the PCR module to receive the amplified DNA and deposit the amplified DNA into a receptacle;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to one or more actuators that open and close valves connected to the synthesis unit chamber, the PCR module, and the deposition unit and communicatively coupled to one or more electronic and/or mechanical sensors that sense conditions on the wafer, wherein the controller is programmed to regulate flow of fluids between the synthesis unit chamber, the PCR module, and the deposition unit by operation of the valves.
