ExtraGene

What ExtraGene does

ExtraGene is a Taiwan-based manufacturer of laboratory plasticware and benchtop instruments, headquartered in Taichung and operating since 2013 with a disclosed headcount of 11-50 employees. The company produces a broad consumables catalog including pipette tips, filter tips, PCR and microcentrifuge tubes, centrifuge tubes, cryogenic vials, ELISA plates, PCR plates, deep well plates, serological pipettes, syringe filters, and associated dish and rack systems. It has extended beyond single-use plastics into reusable laboratory instruments, offering centrifuges, PCR thermocyclers, and micropipettes, which positions it as a one-stop supplier for molecular biology and general life-science workflows.

The business is certified to ISO 9001:2015 (quality management) and ISO 13485:2016 (medical device quality management), qualifying it as a vendor for regulated life-science and diagnostic end-markets. It operates an international agent and distributor model spanning Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas, supported by a multilingual website in English, Japanese, and Spanish and recurring trade show participation at events such as ARABLAB 2021 and LABVOLUTION 2019. The company generates revenue through direct sales and distributor channels to research institutions, pharmaceutical laboratories, and clinical diagnostic facilities, with inquiry-based, non-transparent pricing suggesting deal-by-deal commercial activity rather than disclosed enterprise contracts. No funding rounds, investors, or named end customers are disclosed in the available input.
