Biotium Inc. is a privately held American life science reagent manufacturer and supplier founded in 2001. Biotium specializes in providing high-quality fluorescent reagents for use in microscopy, flow cytometry, or molecular biology applications.[1][2][3] The company is located in the Bay Area in a facility that currently receives 80% of its power from solar energy. Biotium’s collaborative R&D teams include chemists and biologists who act synergistically to keep the company at the forefront of fluorescent dye design, applying chemistry-based principles toward producing solutions for unmet challenges in life science and medical research.
Business segments
Biotium’s life science products predominantly include fluorescent reagents and consumables for cell or molecular biology, or protein analysis. In the early 2000’s the company was pioneering in offering nucleic acid stains that are safer for the user than other common options[4][5], GelRed® and GelGreen®, and these products remain popular in both research and educational settings. EvaGreen® Dye is another popular molecular biology product developed by Biotium that offers an alternative to SYBR Green and has proven useful in PCR and HRM research as well as in molecular diagnostics and forensics protocols.[6][7][8]
The company also developed its own line of CF® Dye fluorophores to offer certain benefits for various applications; CF® Dyes have been incorporated into a variety of kits, reactive options, and labeled antibodies.[2][9] Many CF® Dyes have also now been shown by unsolicited third-party researchers to be compatible with various super-resolution microscopy methodologies, including STORM. [10][11] A large selection of live cell fluorescent stains for subcellular structures or cellular processes, such as NucView® for real-time apoptosis detection, are also offered.[12][13]
Viability PCR (v-PCR) reagents are another specialty of Biotium, and they are currently the major global supplier of propidium monoazide (PMA) for use in v-PCR. Biotium scientists also invented an alternative to PMA, named PMAxx™, that is more effective than PMA at eliminating false positives, PCR and LAMP amplification of dead cell DNA, in bacterial viability assays.[14][15][16][17] Peer-reviewed publications have also shown that PMA and PMAxx™ are useful in monitoring viable bacteria in the environment and for assessing viral capsid integrity in DNA and RNA viruses.[18][19] Biotium also sells select equipment for use with its reagents as well as a variety of accessory consumables. Their sales platforms include direct-to-customer sales for domestic customers and numerous domestic and international distributors.
History
Biotium was founded in 2001, by Fei Mao Ph.D., a graduate of the University of Oregon[20], and co-founder Vivien Chen MBA. Since then, Biotium researchers have developed over 30 patented technologies. Many of these patented technologies have been licensed to leading life science technology companies worldwide. The company is currently headquartered in Fremont, California.
