01 · The molecule

Every sample carries a code.

DNA and RNA are fragile. Much of genomics comes down to protecting that code from collection until it's read.

Our science

02 · The sample

Protected at room temperature.

mWRAPR and RNA WRAPR media stabilise nucleic acids at ambient temperature, so samples travel without dry ice or a cold chain.

03 · The cell

Made visible, safely.

Food-grade Eco-Fluors such as ANO stain the nucleus of living cells. They replace toxic dyes the field has relied on for decades.

01 Our purpose

Our purpose

Groundbreaking genomics shouldn't take years to reach the rest of the world. We make cutting-edge molecular biology affordable, accessible and safer, so discovery can have a truly global impact.

A — Inclusive innovation

Built for every lab, not just the best funded

Innovations from high-income countries often reach low- and middle-income countries years later. We design for real-world costs and infrastructure from day one.

B — Safer by design

Food-grade fluorophores and non-toxic kits

Our patented Eco-Fluors and phenol-chloroform-free extraction kits remove hazardous chemicals from everyday workflows.

C — Make in India

Flexible kits without vendor lock-in

India-made genomics workflow kits that, by our numbers, cut DNA and RNA sequencing costs by 40%.

02 The ecosystem

One partner,sample to sequence.

Five product families, each colour-coded through this site, cover the genomics workflow from the moment a sample is collected to the moment its code is read.

All 61 products

03 How the workflow connects

From the first swabto the final read.

Use Azooka at one stage or several. Each product works on its own alongside the instruments and kits you already run.

Stage 01

Sample collection

Blood, saliva, a swab or stool goes into a tube pre-filled with stabilising medium.

mWRAPR tubes
Stage 02

Preservation & transport

The medium protects DNA and RNA so the sample can ship at room temperature.

RNA WRAPR media
Stage 03

DNA/RNA extraction

Nucleic acids are purified and PCR inhibitors removed, by hand or on automation.

AZUL kits
Stage 04

Quantification

A fluorescent dye measures how much DNA or RNA there is, so labs know the sample is ready.

tinto rang™ kits
Stage 05

Downstream analysis

PCR/qPCR, LAMP, NGS library preparation and sequencing.
