OptiGene was established with the primary goal of providing the highest quality instrumentation and performance-leading reagents to support isothermal amplification of DNA and RNA. The market demand for this venture stemmed from the growing worldwide need for field testing, rapid results, and point-of-care diagnostics.

OptiGene innovates products that enable the precise detection of bacteria and viruses in plant health, food safety, veterinary medicine, environmental monitoring, and healthcare. Additionally, the company serves the bio-defence and forensics markets directly or through its global distributor network.
By leveraging expertise in instrument design and enzymology, OptiGene has developed an advanced open platform that supports all isothermal amplification methods. This allows ultra-sensitive molecular detection, once limited to labs, to be deployed on-site with minimal training, delivering results in minutes instead of hours.

We exist to minimise the impact of bacteria and viruses for our customers and enable greater production and health quality.
Our vision
To become the total solution for anyone looking for point-of-care diagnostics globally.
Our mission
We will achieve our vision by providing integrated technology solutions.
