History

Founded in 1984 as part of ASW Holding, Westburg Life Sciences started its journey by distributing restriction enzymes from New England Biolabs. This was just the beginning of our continuous evolution and adaptation to new technologies. We were part of the disruption of expression studies with this then-novel technology, leading to a significant leap in knowledge and understanding of biological processes. As technologies evolved, we continued to move scientific research forward with new products. Clotech laboratories offered expression systems, cloning technologies, and virus systems, further innovating research.

Our journey didn't stop there. We formed a partnership with Qiagen, transforming an unknown sample preparation kit supplier into the golden standard in the isolation market. And why stop here? Brands like Li-Cor Western Blot Imaging Systems, Takara Bio, EVOS microscopes, and many more followed. We are proud to have contributed to the growth of these visionary brands.

We continued to look for the most reliable and innovative partners in the Life Sciences industry, and today we represent brands such as Analytik JenaLOGOS BiosystemsCapricorn ScientificInnuscreen, and Biotech Rabbit. 

Since 2012, we have built our own Westburg brand, with product lines like AmpliStar PCR plastics, TripleA pipette tips, and SafeStore storage. These products are our best-selling products today, thanks to their promise of high quality at attractive prices.
