VWR will distribute Zygem's DNA-extraction products in Europe after the two companies signed a non-exclusive distribution agreement.
Zygem's technology uses a thermophilic enzyme and a single closed-tube system to extract DNA from samples.
This reduces the time and cost of DNA extractions, while simplifying laboratory workflow, minimising error, reducing the risk of contamination, ensuring sample integrity and facilitating extractions from trace samples.
Zygem's technology has been validated for use in highly regulated applications, including forensic analysis.
Its DNA-extraction products are used in the life-science research, forensic, agriculture and animal-health markets.
