批量（liàng）起始物设（shè）计（jì）(Batch Primer Design)，Batch Primer Design， also known as BatchPD is a handy and small piece of software that can help users design and create primer oligos.
The primers are specially developed for PCR amplification against human gene exons. Batch Primer Design was created with the help of the Java programming language.
Zippy's primary functionality is the automatic design of working sequencing primer pairs. It uses Primer3 as a backend and verifies the uniqueness of resulting sequencing amplicons， identifying overlap with potentially interfering common variation in the genome. Multiple design parameter sets can be specified and Zippy will autmatically move on to the next， less stringent parameter sets if the design process does not yield any good primer pairs (deep searching).
