35 2003 Manufacturer and supplier of products: | CE IVD kits for infection diagnosis | Microbial DNA extraction (manual and automated) | PCR assays and master mixes | DNA-free PCR reagents and polymerases | Customised master mixes Molzym is interested in collaborations that are directed to the development and manufacturing of individualised, pre-analytic, and analytic solutions, including automation.
Molzym was founded as a privately owned enterprise in Bremen, Germany, in 2003. Ever since, Molzym has been committed to the development of innovative solutions to serve biological research and diagnosis of infectious diseases. In December 2019, Molzym joined Gradian Diagnostics to accelerate growth of its molecular diagnostic solutions. Our developmental efforts are particularly focused on new processes enabling and facilitating the molecular diagnosis of infectious diseases caused by bacteria and fungi. Meanwhile, more than 50 high-quality products are available for molecular microbial analysis by PCR- and NGS-based methods in 30 countries worldwide.
Expertise Molzym manufactures ultra-clean and highly active amplification reagents and kits for microbial DNA extraction from a variety of clinical specimens. Reagents and consumables are supplied free of contaminating microbial DNA – guaranteed lot by lot. Our customers appreciate the ability to increase the number of amplification cycles and thus lower the limit of detection dramatically without false positive results arising from contaminating microbial DNA. Another core expertise is Molzym’s unique MolYsis™ technology for the depletion of host DNA from usually sterile human and animal samples, a well-known factor that negatively influences sensitive PCR and microbiome analysis at low microbial loads.
Products & automation MolYsis™ is Molzym’s proprietary technology of host DNA depletion, allowing targeted isolation of microbial DNA from a great variety of clinical samples. Ultra-pure, DNA-free PCR reagents and master mixes allow for the precise detection of microbes in humans and animal models. Complete assays for the broad-range amplification of selected regions of the 16S and 18S rRNA genes of bacteria and fungi are available. Basic and dye master mixes can be used with custom primers for PCR and real-time PCR analysis.
