Minerva Biolabs is a leading biotechnology company that develops, manufactures and distributes products for the prevention, detection and elimination of microbial contaminations (e.g. mycoplasma, bacteria, fungi). The detection kits are based on different PCR technologies such as conventional, real-time and digital PCR. Corresponding reference standards and sample preparation kits are also offered.

The portfolio also includes innovative products for the quality control of biopharmaceutical/ATMP products, such as host cell residual DNA testing, determination of vector copy number in CAR-T cell therapies, AAV/CMV viral vector titer and complete pyrogen testing.

Our products are easily and economically available worldwide through our global distribution network. We strive to provide highest quality products and services that can be used with confidence in scientific and clinical research, and in process and quality control in the biopharmaceutical industry.
