Founded in the mid-1970s as a collective of scientists committed to developing innovative products for the life sciences industry, New England Biolabs is proud to be a world leader in the discovery and production of enzymes for molecular biology applications.

Created by scientists for scientists, NEB prioritizes the advancement of science, stewardship of the environment, and giving back to the world around us in everything we do. Since our establishment in 1974, we have remained committed to developing high quality, innovative products that not only empower your research but also our own. Our profits have always funded an extensive research program, which we believe is critical for staying connected to our customers and helping to drive scientific breakthroughs. From our founding principles to our unique corporate culture, NEB’s philosophy can be distilled down to three core values: passion, humility and being genuine.

NEB offers the largest selection of recombinant and native enzymes for genomic research. While restriction enzymes remain part of our core product portfolio, our ever-expanding catalog also includes products related to PCR, gene expression, sample preparation for next generation sequencing, synthetic biology, glycobiology, epigenetics and RNA analysis. Additionally, we are also focused on strengthening alliances that enable new technologies to reach key market sectors, including molecular diagnostics development and nucleic acid vaccines.

As we reflect on the last 50 years and look toward the future, we are excited to support your research and help you address the complex challenges facing the world today. We hope that by working together we can shape the science of tomorrow.
