MINOTECH biotechnology

Producing high quality tools for Molecular Biology Researchers

MINOTECH biotechnology is the in-house biotechnology production facility of the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology in Crete, Greece, founded in 1986. MINOTECH biotechnology remains the sole microbial biotechnology unit in Greece active in the production of Molecular Biology tools and is highlighted as one of the 16 international suppliers of Restriction Enzymes (REs) in the largest database on REs (REBASE, rebase.neb.com).

MINOTECH biotechnology has over 28 years of experience specialized in production of bacterial-derived proteins. We produce a wide array of high purity and superior quality Restriction Endonucleases, DNA Modifying Enzymes and Molecular Weight Markers that aim to meet the needs of scientists engaged in Research, the Biotechnology Industry and the Clinical Laboratory. Our products are cited in more than 200 peer-reviewed publications and are supplied to customers directly or under OEM agreements through major European, Asian and North American distributors.

The proprietary protein purification procedures developed at MINOTECH and the thorough quality control (every batch is strictly tested) allow us to offer top quality products at the most competitive prices and fast delivery.

An active R&D section has as a goal the extension of our product portfolio and the establishment of collaborations under Interdisciplinary research grants with the academia or industry.
MINOTECH biotechnology facilities, products and services are certified with ISO 9001:2008 from TUV HELLAS.
