Making Bioanalysis Simpler and More Accessible

 

Advancing Bioanalysis and Molecular Diagnostics Through Innovation

BiOptic Inc. (Stock Code: 6850), founded in 2004, is a biotechnology company specializing in life science research, molecular diagnostics, and genetic testing applications.

With Capillary Gel Electrophoresis (CGE), bio-fragment analysis, and molecular diagnostics automation at the core of its technology platform, BiOptic continues to integrate instruments, cartridges, reagents, software, and genetic testing services. We are committed to providing easy-to-use, reliable, and cost-effective innovative products and integrated solutions for life science research, industrial applications, and the molecular diagnostics market.

 

Building In-House R&D Capabilities from OEM/ODM Expertise

BiOptic has been dedicated to research, development, and manufacturing of capillary gel electrophoresis products. In its early years, the company primarily provided high-quality, value-added, and customer-driven OEM/ODM services to biotechnology companies worldwide.

Through years of experience in instrument design, optical detection, microfluidic technologies, reagent development, analytical software, and mass production, BiOptic has progressively established comprehensive capabilities spanning core technology R&D, product design, manufacturing, quality management, and application support. This evolution has transformed BiOptic from a professional technology service provider into a biotechnology company with its own brand and comprehensive product platforms.

BiOptic's team brings more than 40 years of combined industry experience in capillary electrophoresis and related analytical technologies. In addition to product performance, stability, and quality, we continue to invest in customer service, application support, and technical training. By understanding different sample characteristics and application requirements, we help researchers, laboratories, healthcare institutions, and biotechnology companies establish efficient and appropriate analytical methods.

 

Innovative Cartridge Technology Simplifying Conventional Analysis

In 2009, BiOptic began developing an innovative capillary gel electrophoresis system incorporating disposable pen-shaped gel cartridges. In 2011, the company officially introduced its first Qsep100 Capillary Gel Electrophoresis Bio-Fragment Analyzer at the Laboratory Automation Conference in Palm Springs, California, USA.

By integrating pre-cast gel cartridges, capillary electrophoresis instrumentation, and analytical software, BiOptic simplified the labor-intensive processes associated with conventional gel electrophoresis, including gel preparation, staining, and image analysis. This integrated approach enables users to improve analytical efficiency, simplify operation, and achieve more consistent, standardized, and reproducible bio-fragment analysis results.

This innovation design also laid an important foundation for the continued development of BiOptic's automated bioanalysis platforms.

Diverse Product Platforms for a Wide Range of Applications

As technologies continue to advance, BiOptic has introduced a series of analytical platforms designed for different throughput levels and applications, including Qsep1, Qsep100, Qsep400, Gly-Q, and Qsep Ultra. The company has also continued to develop Qampmini PCR system, patented gel cartridges, Direct-PCR reagents, molecular testing reagents, and analytical software.

By integrating instruments, consumables, reagents, and software, BiOptic has established a comprehensive product portfolio covering molecular amplification, bio-fragment separation, signal analysis, and result interpretation.

BiOptic's products and technologies can be applied to analysis of nucleic acids, proteins, and glycans, and are widely used across the following fields:

 

  • Life science and molecular biology research
  • Molecular testing and genetic analysis
  • Pharmaceuticals and bioprocessing
  • Food safety and quality management
  • Agriculture, aquaculture, and animal husbandry
  • Genomics and other biotechnology applications

 

By continuously expanding product functionality and application capabilities, BiOptic helps research and industrial customers simplify testing workflows, improve analytical efficiency, and accelerate research findings and innovative technologies into practical applications.

Group Integration, Complete Molecular Diagnostics Value Chain

As its business continues to expand, BiOptic has evolved from an instrument and reagent supplier into an integrated biotechnology group encompassing R&D, manufacturing, nucleic acid sample preparation, molecular analysis, and genetic testing services.

Nowadays, BiOptic Inc. headquartered in Taiwan, serves as the parent company of the BiOptic Group. The Group has also established BiOptic (Jiangsu) Inc. and Zhejiang BiOptic in China, strengthening its capabilities in market development, product supply, manufacturing, equipment maintenance, technical services, and customer support throughout the Chinese market.

In Taiwan, BiOptic has further integrated the specialized technologies and resources of CatchGene Co., Ltd. and Science Gene Co., Ltd.

 

CatchGene Co., Ltd. specializes in developing nucleic acid extraction technologies, automated extraction systems, and associated reagents, with expertise in upstream sample preparation for liquid biopsy. Its products enable the purification of low-abundance nucleic acids from plasma, including cell-free DNA (cfDNA), cell-free RNA (cfRNA), and miRNA, helping improve recovery efficiency and sample quality. These capabilities can support early cancer detection, post-diagnosis monitoring, and other areas of precision medicine.

By integrating CatchGene's sample preparation technologies with BiOptic's molecular amplification, capillary electrophoresis analysis, and intelligent result interpretation platforms, the Group further enhances its one-stop molecular testing workflow from sample preparation through result analysis.

 

Science Gene Co., Ltd. focuses on genetic testing and precision health applications. By integrating molecular testing technologies, bioinformatics analysis, and professional healthcare resources, Science Gene develops services for disease risk assessment, cancer-related testing, treatment and postoperative monitoring, and personalized health management.

Science Gene is committed to transforming genetic information into meaningful testing insights, extending molecular testing technologies beyond R&D and analytical platforms into clinical and real-world healthcare applications. This further strengthens the BiOptic Group's overall capabilities, from sample preparation and molecular analysis to genetic testing services.

 

Through specialized expertise and technological integration across its business units, BiOptic Group continues to build a comprehensive molecular diagnostics value chain.

 

One-Stop Solutions from Sample Preparation to Results

The BiOptic Group continues to integrate key technologies throughout the molecular testing workflow, including:

Sample Preparation Nucleic Acid Extraction Molecular Amplification Capillary Electrophoresis Analysis Intelligent Result Interpretation Genetic Testing Services

This integrated capability enables BiOptic to provide not only individual products, but also more comprehensive analytical workflows and testing solutions tailored to different research objectives, sample types, and application settings.

Global Reach, Expert Technical & Application Support

Supported by R&D, manufacturing, quality management, and global operations teams in Taiwan, together with its market, manufacturing, and technical service capabilities in China, BiOptic's products and technologies serve research institutions, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, laboratories, healthcare-related organizations, and government agencies across numerous countries and regions worldwide.
