Microzone was initiated and developed by Dr Hedda Steingrimsdottir, a no-nonsense, creative, solution-oriented scientist. Passionate about solving clients’ DNA and PCR issues, Hedda saw a need for reliable PCR mastermixes in the market.

She launched Microzone with her first product, MegaMix, and continuously sought ways to simplify and enhance the work of researchers and diagnosticians. Today we continue this legacy with a team focused on expanding our growing range of reliable and cost-effective tools for molecular biologists.

Founded by Dr Hedda Steingrimsdottir

Hedda’s vision led to the development of a range of mastermixes, direct-to-PCR lysis buffers, and efficient PCR Clean-Up products.

MegaMix Launched

MegaMix was an immediate best seller. It provided ease of use, consistency in DNA amplification using PCR, and stability between batches. We made experiments easier, more consistent and quicker. Researchers and diagnostics labs were able to do more with their budgets and time.

Clent Life Science becomes a distributor

David Harris met Hedda when looking for a PCR mastermix for his clients. Impressed by the range of products Hedda was developing, he began distributing Microzone shortly after.

In 2018, Hedda sold Microzone to David Harris after 14 years of working together. Microzone relocates to the West Midlands.

Commitment to Innovation

We continue the legacy of Microzone by researching and developing new tools for molecular biologists. With a dedicated research and development team, we’re continually improving our product line.

Our first master mix, which provided ease of use, consistency in DNA amplification, and stability between batches. It revolutionised lab workflows by eliminating the need to purchase and assemble individual components.
