Norgen's Technological Innovation and Manufacturing Expertise
Norgen's Technology
Norgen holds more than thirty-five issued and pending patents. Norgen has developed a unique platform technology based on a proprietary resin/matrix with many applications including the purification, concentration and clean-up of DNA, RNA, microRNA, proteins and exosomes from various specimen types. The efficient purification of these macromolecules is often the first step in diagnostics and in hundreds of molecular biological applications fueling discovery for genomics and proteomics.
Manufacturing, Contract Manufacturing & OEM
Maximize your research potential with our Isolation Services. We specialize in extracting high-quality DNA and RNA from any sample type. Our innovative resin matrix ensures top-notch RNA purification, free from GC content bias.
cGMP
All of Norgen’s products are manufactured according to the ISO 13485:2016 standard, which meets or exceeds cGMP compliance. From our fully validated equipment and manufacturing premises to our highly trained personnel, we meet all the requirements of GMP. All of our manufacturing processes are strictly controlled by SOPs, ensuring batch to batch consistency and full traceability for all products manufactured in our facility. In addition to the manufacture of own products and medical devices, we also offer contract manufacturing to the life science and medical device community.

SUPPORTING STUDENTS
Committed to supporting students
In March of 2021 Norgen received the Co-Op Employer of the Year Award from Brock University! During the height of the pandemic in the summer of 2020, Norgen had the opportunity to increase co-op student hiring for students to gain valuable experience during a time when jobs were scarce.
Recent Testimonials
In our RNA research lab, we work with primary human cells. With Norgen isolation kits, we can obtain reproducibly efficient results from even the smallest number of cells. Norgen kits give us high experimental accuracy as well as the freedom to safely transition to downstream applications.
Ekim Taskiran - Hacettepe University
Norgen Biotek provided great customer service and were always happy to spend time answering our questions. We had struggled with troubleshooting library prep on these samples in our own lab due to low DNA concentration and issues with PCR inhibitors, but the technicians at Norgen were able to prepare excellent libraries from all our samples. The NGS results we received were of high quality and allowed us to proceed to data analysis
Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU)
I took advantage of the Biofilm DNA Isolation kit to isolate DNA from submerged biofilms grown from the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. I found the isolation protocol to be rapid and effective. Utilization of this kit helped our research team confirm the existence of extractable DNA from fungal biofilms and subsequently determine the DNA concentration.
