Detection of DNA damage in individual cells
NorGenoTech is a biomedical technology company providing efficient analysis of DNA damage.
We develop equipment, carry out research projects and offer services and training courses.
At the heart of our technology is the comet assay, which has potential as a diagnostic tool in personalized medicine and is already widely used in human bio-monitoring and for industrial testing of chemicals and drugs.
We have developed a high throughput, integrated, user-friendly DNA damage testing facility. Hospitals, research labs, chemical and pharma industries and regulators form our present and future customer base.
