What Biotechrabbit does

Biotechrabbit GmbH is a Berlin-based, privately held molecular biology reagents company founded in 2011 by Dr. Bernd Haase, operating as a specialized manufacturer of enzymes, kits, and consumables for PCR, qPCR/qRT-PCR, nucleic acid isolation, cell-free protein synthesis, and isothermal amplification workflows. Its core technology platform centers on the proprietary Rapid Translation Systems (RTS) cell-free protein synthesis offering across E. coli, wheat germ, and insect cell lysates with Continuous Exchange Cell-Free (CECF) technology for preparative-scale yields up to 50 mg, supplemented by differentiated enzymes such as Heat Labile Uracil-DNA Glycosylase, CAPITAL qRT-PCR chemistry, YourTaq Hot-Start polymerase, ExactiFi high-fidelity polymerase, and lyophilized LYO-ready formats stable at ambient temperatures.

The company sells through two channels: a direct e-commerce storefront at biotechrabbit.com and a global distribution network of regional partners covering more than 40 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Biotechrabbit also offers OEM/white-label reagent manufacturing and custom monoclonal antibody development services, with ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certifications positioning it as a qualified supplier to clinical diagnostic manufacturers — a segment it formally entered in January 2025 via a strategic enzyme manufacturing partnership with Synthego. Pricing is transactional and publicly listed in euros, ranging from approximately €30 for commodity reagents to €4,990 for preparative-scale RTS 9000 kits, indicating a high-volume catalog model supplemented by enterprise OEM contracts.
