About Us

Fast, Clean, Enzyme-Driven Extraction

Revolutionizing nucleic acid extraction with single-tube workflows that reduce waste and boost efficiency.

At eXymes, we’re reimagining the way science approaches nucleic acid extraction. Born from a legacy of Antarctic exploration and powered by extremophile enzymes, our solutions bring simplicity, speed, and sustainability to molecular workflows around the world.

We specialize in temperature-driven, enzyme-based extraction technologies that eliminate the need for harsh chemicals, columns, and complex protocols. Our flagship products—prepGEM and PDQeX—are trusted by scientists, forensic experts, and researchers for their reliability, efficiency, and eco-conscious design.

Whether supporting field-based diagnostics or high-throughput laboratory workflows, eXymes is committed to enabling science that’s faster, cleaner, and smarter.

Field DNA/RNA Extraction

The eXymes automated nucleic extraction device allows DNA or RNA to be extracted on the farm or in any location. The PDQeX is hands-off and can be battery-powered.

Patient Diagnostics

Enable fast, clean sample prep for low- to high-throughput molecular diagnostics. Compatible with qPCR, RT-qPCR, and LAMP workflows — ideal for clinical research and screening applications.

Forensic laboratories

Recover high-integrity DNA from challenging samples like blood, saliva, semen, tissue and bone. Single-tube, temperature-controlled protocols preserve evidence quality for STR and casework analysis.

Laboratory R&D

Isolate high-quality DNA and RNA from blood, tissue, and single-cell samples. Enzyme-driven extraction ensures purity and yield for studies into inherited disorders, mutations, and genomic instability.

Our PRODUCT

prepGEM Enzyme System

The prepGEM Enzyme System delivers fast, high-yield nucleic acid extraction with minimal contamination. Operating at temperatures from 75°C, it simplifies workflows by eliminating detergents, denaturants, and purification columns. Ideal for a range of biological materials, prepGEM offers a sustainable, one-tube solution that reduces technician time and plastic waste.

Fast, High-Yield Extraction

Achieve high-quality nucleic acids in less time, with no need for detergents or harsh chemicals.

Minimal Contamination

Single-tube protocol reduces the risk of contamination and sample loss.

Environmentally Sustainable

Reduces plastic waste with no columns or magnetic beads required.
