Labgene Scientific

What Labgene Scientific does

LABGENE SCIENTIFIC SA is a privately held Swiss distributor of molecular biology laboratory equipment, reagents, and consumables, headquartered at ZI, route de Pra de Plan 35 in Châtel-Saint-Denis, Switzerland. Founded in 1994 and in continuous operation for over 30 years, the company serves six identified customer verticals: life science research laboratories (primary), diagnostic laboratories, public hospitals, forensics laboratories, government laboratories, and pharmaceutical industry buyers. The business is independently owned with no disclosed external venture, institutional, or parent ownership, and operates with a reported headcount of 1-10 employees. Distribution geographies are stated as 'Swiss and international markets' with no formal geographic restriction disclosed.

The product portfolio spans the full molecular biology workflow. Automated liquid handling is led by the Myra and Myra9 pipetting systems, which carry proprietary algorithms, an integrated camera, and an automatic 1- or 4-channel pipette. PCR instrumentation includes the Mic rotary-format real-time cycler, the RePure Multi Gradient thermal cycler with three independent blocks, and portable isothermal fluorescence PCR systems (LABGENE-8C single-channel and LAMP PURE dual-block, both with rechargeable batteries and embedded touchscreens). Spectroscopy and fluorometry are anchored by DeNovix products (DS-8X eight-channel spectrophotometer, DS-11 FX combined spectrophotometer-fluorometer, QFX tube fluorometer, and the FX fluorometer module). Sample preparation is covered by the Precellys 24 Touch homogenizer and the MagPurix 12A magnetic-bead nucleic acid extraction system (1-12 samples in 30-60 minutes). Capillary gel electrophoresis is served by the Qsep100 2.0 fragment analyzer. The reagent line includes SensiFAST qPCR mastermixes in multiple ROX and one-step direct formulations, BeST LAMP isothermal amplification kits, DeNovix RNA fluorescence quantification assays, NGS cleanup magnetic beads, and PCR enzymes and mixes. A broad consumables catalog includes pipette tips, PCR tubes and plates, magnetic separation plates, extraction plastics, and Qsep and MagPurix consumables.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of laboratory instruments and consumables, supplemented by instrument rental arrangements (recurring in nature) and instrument validation and servicing engagements. Pricing is quote-based, denominated in Swiss Francs, and revealed only after customer login on the labgene.ch e-commerce platform. The company also resells second-hand equipment to address cost-conscious buyers and serves both domestic Swiss and international European accounts. The business has not pursued external scaling capital, has no disclosed M&A activity, and operates a single Swiss office.
