What iGeneTech does
iGeneTech Bioscience Co., Ltd. is a Beijing-headquartered biotechnology company founded in 2014 that develops next-generation sequencing (NGS) target gene enrichment products and related reagents. Its technology stack rests on three proprietary platforms: liquid-phase NGS probe hybridization, multiplex PCR primer design, and the Ignite 3.0 high-throughput oligo pool synthesis platform (supporting 4k–650k oligo scales at reported 0.2% error rates). The portfolio spans custom and pre-defined capture panels — notably the AIExome V5 family of whole-exome products with Tumor and Inherit Editions — a broad catalog of microbiology (SARS-CoV-2, HBV, EBV, respiratory and GI pathogen panels), oncology (pan-cancer, MRD, hematologic, HRD/HRR), immunology (HLA, immune repertoire), and agricultural (animal and plant exome) panels, plus NGS library preparation kits, hybridization capture reagents, the IGT-AS12 automated liquid handling workstation, and online design tools (Panel Design, IGT Design, MFE Primer).
The company sells primarily through direct B2B channels — website, email, telephone, and WhatsApp — with OEM manufacturing services for partners and lab sequencing services for customers outsourcing testing. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Named customers include the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Peking University, and Peking Union Medical College, with international reach supported by an EU IVDD CE mark (SARS-CoV-2 Clinical Amplicon Sequencing Kit, 2021) and participation in industry exhibitions such as MEDICA and BioJapan. Manufacturing operates to ISO 13485 and ISO 9001 standards, and iGeneTech also contributed to drafting a Chinese national standard for forensic NGS reagent quality. Products are validated on Illumina, MGI, Element Biosciences AVITI, and GeneMind SURFSeq platforms.
Revenue derives from one-time sales of NGS reagents and kits, custom and pre-defined panels, OEM/licensing arrangements, professional lab services, and synthetic biology oligo synthesis services. In March 2026 iGeneTech entered a strategic partnership with Tsingke Biotech to integrate gene synthesis capabilities with its Ignite 3.0 platform, targeting precision medicine, bio-breeding, and gene editing markets. The company is privately held, headquartered in Changping District (Beijing) with an operational subsidiary in Jiaxing, Zhejiang.
