Jena Bioscience GmbH was founded by a team of scientists from the Max-Planck-Institute for molecular Physiology in Dortmund. 25+ years of academic know how were condensed into the company in order to develop innovative reagents and technologies for the life science market.
Since the start up in 1998, the company has evolved into an established global reagent supplier with more than 3.000 products on stock and a customer base in 50+ countries. Jena Bioscience serves three major client groups:
Research laboratories at universities, industry, government and hospitals & medical schools
Pharmaceutical industry in the process from lead discovery through to pre-clinical stages
Laboratory & diagnostic reagent kit producers and re-sellers
Our company premises are located in the city of Jena/Germany with a subsidiary in Teltow, just in the vicinity of the German capital Berlin.
Jena Bioscience’s products include nucleotides and their non-natural analogs, recombinant proteins & protein production systems, reagents for the crystallization of biological macromolecules and tailor-made solutions for molecular biology and biochemistry.
In our chemistry division, we have hundreds of natural and modified nucleotides available on stock. In addition, with our pre-made building blocks and in-house expertise we manufacture even the most exotic nucleotide analog from mg ... kg scale.
In the field of recombinant protein production, Jena Bioscience has developed its proprietary LEXSY technology. LEXSY (Leishmania Expression System) is based on a S1-classified unicellular organism that combines easy handling with a full eukaryotic protein folding and modification machinery including mammalian-like glycosylation. LEXSY is primarily used for the expression of proteins that are expressed at low yields or inactive in the established expression systems, and expression levels of 100 mg/L of culture were achieved.
For the crystallization of biological macromolecules - which is the bottle neck in determining the 3D-structure of any protein - we offer specialized reagents for crystal screening, crystal optimization and phasing that can reduce the time for obtaining high quality crystals ready for X-ray diffraction from several years to a few days.
Our specialized reagents are complemented with a large selection of products for any molecular biology & biochemistry laboratory such as kits for PCR and Real-Time-PCR, oligo nucleotides, cloning enzymes, mutagenesis technologies, and many more...
We combine highest quality standards for all our products with an individualized customer support. We establish direct lines of communication from clients to our in-house scientists, resulting in productive interactions among people with similar background and research interest who speak the same language.
Furthermore, we offer support programs and attractive discount schemes for young scientists establishing their own labs. If you wish to receive more information on Jena Bioscience, just send us an e-mail to info@jenabioscience.com .
