Achievements & EU projects  - Prokazyme and Matis scientists have directed the discovery and development of novel products that have reached high visibility on the world market, such as the CircLigase®, a ssDNA ligase sold by Epicentre Biotechnologies Inc as well as the DyNAzyme® DNA polymerase sold by Finnzymes. Prokazyme is now a coordinator for the EU project EXGENOMES and is also participating as a partner in the EU projects AMYLOMICSTASTE and SeaBioTech

Prokazyme is proud to announce that our high novelty product ThermoPhage® ssDNA ligase has been acquired by Epicentre Biotechnologies in Madison, WI, USA. Therefore from now on the enzyme will be excusively sold by Epicentre Biotechnologies. The enzyme was discovered and developed by Prokaria and has unique efficiency in ligating end-to-end linear RNA and ssDNA fragments as well as being unique in circularizing ssDNA with very high efficiency. We advise our customers to turn to Epicentre Biotechnologies, or its distributors and ask about CircLigase™ ssDNA ligase.
