About US
Primogen Biotech
Primogen Biotech Pvt Ltd is a biotechnology company established in 2022 with an aim to provide products and services pertaining to biotechnological solutions for the sustainable improvement of our society. We started our endeavor with the establishment of TrimoPrim™: an affordable kit for simultaneous isolation of DNA, RNA and protein for genomics and proteomics analysis. TrimoPrim™ is the first “Make in India” product of its kind and it was developed with the support of DBT-BIRAC, Govt of India under BIG grant.
Synergistic study of genomics and proteomics is important to decipher the molecular mechanism taking place inside any biological system. In order to do so simultaneous extraction of DNA, RNA & protein will be required, which is quite difficult normally. Limited kits are available for such isolation but costly in price and extracted biomolecules are often contaminated with RNA or DNA. Therefore, there is a big opportunity to develop a kit for simultaneous extraction of DNA, RNA and protein from a single biological sample with USP like: Make in India, affordable and broad spectrum applicability. As a solution we have developed an affordable, rapid and user friendly kit for DNA/RNA/protein simultaneous isolation.
We also provide genomic and proteomic related services like: DNA isolation, plasmid isolation, restriction digestion of DNA, gene cloning, PCR works, microbial colony PCR, RNA isolation, reverse transcription or complementary DNA preparation, protein extraction, SDS-PAGE analysis, etc. Primogen Biotech Pvt Ltd also provide genomics and proteomics related training courses.

Pranita Hazarika
Director
Pranita Hazarika is an upcoming young mind and tea scientist having a zeal to transform research and development (R&D) to research and business (R&B) leading her journey to entrepreneurial endeavour. She is interested in doing science for solving societal problems with sustainable and affordable biotechnological solutions. Her first idea on tea molecular biology was supported by DBT-BIRAC, Govt of India in the form of Biotechnology Ignition Grant of 50 lakh INR to undertake her product oriented research project on “Development of an affordable kit for simultaneous and rapid (3 h) isolation of DNA, RNA and protein from a single leaf sample for genomic and proteomic analysis”. This project has lead to the registration of Primogen Biotech Pvt Ltd. She was also invited by Guwahati Biotech Park and IIT Delhi couple of times to narrate about her success story in order to motivate young audience.
Pranita Hazarika was the first to report on the development of protein molecular marker for finger printing tea cultivar. She is famous amongst tea scientists on the establishment of tissue culture derived tea planting materials for commercial application. Her success story was also covered by many national and international dailies during February 2020. She has also report about stink bean tree as an economical tea shade tree (https://in.linkedin.com/in/pranita-hazarika-2859bb86).
Pranita Hazarika holds an MSc degree in biotechnology from Bangalore University. She has an illustrious research experience of more than a decade in the field of molecular biology like genomics and proteomics, plant tissue culture, etc. She has successfully completed two numbers of research projects assigned to her to solve tea tissue culture problem by TTRI, Jorhat. At present she is running a Department of Biotechnology, Govt of India funded research project as a Project Coordinator.
Pranita Hazarika has five research publications in international and national journals to her credit with an average IF of 1.3. Most of her research works are patentable and she has filed two Indian patents to her credit and couple of ideas are in pipeline. She has also reviewed some manuscripts of Indian Journal of Biotechnology (Springer), etc.
Her scientific idea is the sparking reason behind the scientific domain of Primogen Biotech Pvt Ltd. She is also an example of women empowerment. She leads the company as a director who dares to fight challenges. She is the master mind of the company and her first scientific idea was successfully translated into the first product of the company. The first “Make in India” KIT for DNA/RNA/protein isolation.
