30% sounds far from perfect... wouldn't perfect be 100%? Also why do you assume 30% when phosphoramidite chemistry is close to 99% already, and we know enzymes work and don't have similar error issues, less stringent  chemistry (enzymes are all water based, phosphoramidite synthesis hates water).

Oh, i am talking about nanofluidic channels, where you don't need gel or anything more than maybe counter-ion buffers.

Meh, just shove the at-least single molecule into an e.coli with electroporation... 'low' yield 'problem' solved. Seems a boon to me to be able to require at minimum a single molecule of output. Also, I am talking lab-on-a-chip tech, not garage-scale reaction apparatus.
