Introduction

High-integrity DNA/RNA extraction in minutes, not hours

Exymes is driving a fundamental shift in pre-analytical chemistry. By using thermophilic proteinases and mesophilic cell wall-degrading enzymes isolated from Antarctic geothermal environments, we have eliminated the inhibitory legacy chemistry that creates hidden drag in modern labs.

Our single-tube temperature-driven protocols ensure 100% recovery for short-read, long-read and full length downstream applications

Testimonials

“I’ve used prepGEM Bacteria to prepare DNA for microbiome analyses using both high-throughput sequencing and qPCR methods. The method is quick and easy, minimise contamination, produces excellent DNA, and represents great value for money.”
- Department of Biosciences, University of Swansea, UK
“prepGEM Universal is a highly recommended, time-saving, and environment-friendly kit. In fact, it’s a must have in any CRISPR Lab.”
- Genome Engineering Lab, University of Westminster, UK
"Exymes extraction chemistry enables point-of-care diagnostics using DNA samples. A game changer in developing innovative new products.”
- NIHR ARC Thematic Lead
“RNAGEM is a reliable ad fast system that only needs a thermocyler to get good quality RNA from a low number of cells.”
- TranslaTUM, Munich, Germany
