Viagen Biotech
Viagen Biotech Inc. is a U.S.-based biotechnology company specializing in innovative DNA extraction technologies for life science research. Its mission is to simplify and accelerate DNA preparation for downstream molecular biology applications, particularly genomic PCR for genotyping.
The company’s flagship product, the DirectPCR® DNA Extraction System, is a patented single-tube reagent system that enables rapid and reliable DNA extraction from a wide range of biological samples — such as mouse tails, ear punches, yolk sacs, and cultured cells. The reagents neutralize endogenous PCR inhibitors, allowing the crude lysate to be used directly in PCR without purification.
The DirectPCR® system offers significant time and cost savings, reduces plastic waste, eliminates the need for organic solvents, and ensures near-100% PCR success by effectively suppressing inhibitors.
