Viagen Biotech Inc.

 

Viagen Biotech Inc. is a leading provider of innovative DNA extraction technologies and products for life science research. Viagen DirectPCR® DNA Extraction System is a single-tube system for rapid preparation of DNA from mouse tails, ear pieces, yolk sac, and culture cells.  The patent-pending components developed by scientists at Viagen Biotech Inc. allow the resulting DNA extracts to be compatible with genomic PCR for genotyping. Crude extracts of biological samples are not compatible with many molecular biology-grade reactions such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in part due to inhibitors contained in crude extracts.  The DirectPCR reagents not only mediate the rapid lysis of biological samples but also contain inhibitors that effectively suppress the inhibitory activities of crude lysates for PCR amplification, while maximally maintaining the integrity of released genomic DNA. The procedure completely eliminates any solution transfer or tube-opening steps, saving a substantial amount of time and effort. DirectPCR reagents cost only 26 cents per tail, providing savings at any usage volume.

We also offer the most affordable DNA markers compared to other leading companies. We will continue to expand our capabilities by actively seeking research and business partnership with both academic institutions and industry innovators to develop new research tools. Our products are sold to academic research markets, biotechnology companies, and pharmaceutical companies. Through a global network of more than 30 international distributors, we offer our quality products and services to a worldwide network of research scientists in life science.
