Biozol Diagnostica Vertrieb

What Biozol Diagnostica Vertrieb does

Biozol Diagnostica Vertrieb GmbH is a Hamburg-based B2B distributor of biochemicals, reagents, and diagnostic products serving life sciences research and clinical diagnostics customers across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Founded in May 1989, the company operates an e-commerce storefront at biozol.de alongside email and telephone ordering channels, with products shipped from its Hamburg warehouse. Its catalog aggregates offerings from more than 300 international manufacturers across antibodies, proteins and peptides, kits and assays, biochemicals, cell culture, molecular biology, chromatography, human and veterinary diagnostics, lab supplies, and cell manipulation.

The company carries proprietary branded lines including Dianova (antibodies) and the Mobitec brand acquired in 2024 (molecular biology products), and in 2024 launched its first own-label consumable, Protein Detective, an ultrafast one-step Coomassie protein staining solution. The core technology layer is distribution infrastructure rather than proprietary science, augmented by a scientific content platform of webinars, journal clubs, methods and techniques documentation, and product brochures. BIOZOL is ISO 9001:2015 certified and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Calibre Scientific, the diversified life science distribution group that also brought LINARIS Biologische Produkte into the DACH portfolio in 2021. Revenue is generated through unit-pricing product sales to academic, pharmaceutical, and diagnostic laboratory customers on a pay-as-you-go basis, with no subscription or licensing component disclosed.
