NimaGen & Nijmegen: Our DNA Helix Logo and the Waal Bridge, connecting the old city and a young, innovative vibe!

Story

The Story behind NimaGen

NimaGen was founded in 2011 under the Biolegio Holding by Ruud van der Steen (CEO Biolegio) and Joop Theelen (former
Application- and Product Development Scientist at Applied Biosystems) with the desire to empower the DNA sequencing community. As our animation above shows, NimaGen is located in Nijmegen, The Netherlands and our unique DNA helix in our company logo is based on the famous local landmark bridge called ''De Waal''. NimaGen specializes in life science applications in the molecular biology sector for both research and diagnostics.  Our portfolio consists of quality products for Sanger Sequencing and Fragment Analysis (CE), Next-generation Sequencing (NGS/MPS) and Nucleic Acid Extraction & Clean-up.

 

Our slogan “’Innovators in DNA Sequencing Technologies’’ reflects our novel NGS library preparation kits powered by Reverse Complement PCR (RC-PCR) technology for Forensics, Human Genetics, Microbiology & Infectious Disease and Plant & Animal Genomics applications. For example, NimaGen’s SARS-CoV-2 kit has been used by governments and institutions around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic for variant surveillance, research and waste-water management. We continue to update this kit with novel coronavirus strains to support an adequate global response to the virus. Furthermore, NimaGen’s portfolio of premium Sanger-CE products ranging from instrument consumables to clean-up solutions will improve your workflow and reduce the costs of the analysis.
