The Biosearch Story

Since the early 80s, innovators at Biosearch have refined the chemistry of oligonucleotide synthesis to accelerate the discovery and application of genomic information. Our unmatched selection of oligo modifications is complemented by our demonstrated expertise in the design and manufacture of fluorogenic probes and primers.

• Pharmacogenomic research
• DNA Sequencing
• SNP detection
• Gene expression analysis

Our proprietary dyes called the Black Hole Quencher® (BHQ® dyes) have become the industry standard for fluorescence quenching by enabling design of more effective fluorogenic probes. When partnered with our own vibrant fluorophores, BHQ probes facilitate multiplexing of five or more reactions into a single assay.

Our extensive line of specialty modifications and labels are a priority at Biosearch. We manufacture raw material precursors that we use ourselves and also provide to other oligo manufacturers, such as our extensive line of high quality specialty amidites and supports. Our history with instrumentation has enabled development of our own synthesis and purification robots.

We welcome the opportunity to work with innovators worldwide and enable new inventions that advance the frontier of genomics.

For our Customers
If you are a customer, you'll be glad to hear that we answer phones with a warm voice (not a frustrating recorded message). We want to interact with you in real time to discuss your applications, special product needs, or wish list.

Quality Reagents for Quality Science
Product quality is of utmost importance to us. At Biosearch, we are acutely aware of the time, effort and money our customers invest in their work. Poor quality reagents can ruin even the best-designed experiments. Our commitment to quality is a direct result of this awareness. From the receiving dock to the shipping dock to your lab bench, we have developed exhaustive quality assurance protocols that test and document each important physical parameter of every compound that enters and leaves our labs. Starting with the basic raw materials and ending with the final highly-purified end product, we maintain purity and quality documentation that ships with every product we sell.

Biosearch Technologies, Inc. is ISO 9001:2008 certified by TUV Rheinland of N.A., Inc.
