What 圖爾思生物科技 BIOTOOLS CO., LTD. does

圖爾思生物科技 (BIOTOOLS CO., LTD.) is a privately held Taiwan-based life science distribution and services company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Xizhi District, New Taipei City. The company operates a one-stop research platform that supplies molecular biology reagents under its own TOOLS brand and distributed brands (TADS, Synthego, CROYEZ, ABCLONAL), distributes life science instruments (notably as the exclusive Taiwan agent for Beckman Coulter's BioLector XT and as a certified service provider for PacBio, Oxford Nanopore, and 10x Genomics platforms), and delivers technical services spanning third-generation and second-generation sequencing, proteomics (LC-MS/MS), exosome/EV analysis, and bioinformatics.

Its proprietary technology layer centers on the BIOTOOLS Cloud Platform—online bioinformatics tools for FL16S microbiome, proteomics, and multi-omics analysis that enable researchers to perform taxonomy composition, differential screening, and visualization without coding. The company runs a dedicated Biomicrobiome Research Center (BMRC) that completed over 10,000 analysis cases by December 2025, and it maintains an antibody streaming platform (BioAbfun) under wholly owned subsidiary BioAb Co., Ltd. (拜耳國際, established 2020).

The business model combines five revenue streams: research reagent sales (one-time), technical services (professional services), life science instrument distribution (hardware sales, including the exclusive Beckman BioLector XT agency), cloud platform subscriptions (recurring), and precision health testing such as the 腸健檢 intestinal health check. Customers are primarily academic and research institutions and biotechnology/pharmaceutical companies in Taiwan, with secondary reach into hospitals, medical institutions, and local distributors. With 31 employees and operations confined to Taiwan, the company serves over 2,000 laboratories cumulatively via direct sales, online inquiry systems, channel partners, and a self-service cloud platform.
