Our Origin
Pharmozyme was created from the desire to live in a world where diagnostic tests are free from contamination and achieve the highest accuracy and save human lives.
Our mission is simple: to provide the world’s most reliable, accurate molecular diagnostic kits in the industry.
In 2013, Co-founder Dr. Nader Nourizad, a pioneer in pyrosequencing and enzyme engineering, realized the market was in desperate need of high-quality, high-yield truly pure reagents in order to produce accurate and reliable test results for critical diagnostics.
After years of tireless development, Pharmozyme Inc. is now the first to produce a Taq polymerase free from background bacterial and animal DNA contamination. As a result, our diagnostic kits can be used in DNA amplification, sequencing research, clinical diagnostics, and the most highly sensitive pathogen detection applications.
