Distribution agreement targets growth in China’s sequencing sector

UK genomics tools developer RevoluGen has signed a distribution agreement with Hong Kong-based life sciences supplier ProteoQuest Technology Co Ltd to support growing demand for high molecular weight (HMW) DNA extraction in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

The partnership strengthens RevoluGen’s position in Asia’s fast-expanding sequencing and genomics sector by using ProteoQuest’s regional market knowledge and established customer relationships. Under the agreement, ProteoQuest will promote and supply RevoluGen’s Fire Monkey™ HMW-DNA extraction kits to molecular biology users across Greater China.

“ProteoQuest’s reach and reputation make it an ideal partner to expand access to our technology in one of the world’s most dynamic genomics markets,” said Dr Georgios Patsos, CSO at RevoluGen. “This collaboration supports our wider strategy to serve leading research and healthcare institutions globally.”

ProteoQuest CEO Shang Tsai added: “With the rise in hybrid sequencing workflows and demand for high-quality DNA extraction, we see strong uptake potential across academic, clinical, and biotech users. RevoluGen’s platform-independent kits are a great fit for the evolving needs of the market.”

The move comes as China increases investment in genomic medicine and biotech innovation, with DNA sequencing playing a key role in initiatives such as the Healthy China 2030 plan.
