Bioline The PCR Company is a primary manufacturer and developer of a wide range of specialised molecular biology products for the life science industry and research markets. It manufactures reagents including ultra-pure nucleotides, DNA polymerases and mixes, DNA markers, competent cells, products for RNA analysis and other general reagents for molecular biology. They kindly gave us a 40% discount on all purchases allowing us to buy reagents at a discounted price and enabling us to stay within our budget.
BMG labtech: BMG LABTECH is a leading global developer and manufacturer of innovative, high-quality, and reliable microplate reader instrumentation. BMG loaned the iGEM team a micro-plate reader which is allowing us characterise our genes.

Croda is a world leader in natural based speciality chemicals which are sold to virtually every type of industry. The company has approximately 3400 employees, working in 34 countries. They kindly donated money to our project. In particular we would like to thank Clare Temple-Heald the Research and Technology Manager at Croda for her support.
GenScript is a leading multinational biotech company specialized in biology research and drug discovery/development services. Headquartered in Piscataway, New Jersey, GenScript has become a world-leading Biology CRO and the largest gene synthesis supplier in North America, with subsidiaries and daughter company in Europe, Japan and China. In merely 10 years, GenScript has grown into a world leading biotech company with over 1,200 employees worldwide. We are very grateful for GenScript for the credit that they provided us with to synthesise our genes.
Geneious develops online software that aids the work of molecular biologists. They provided us with software that enables us to design and create our constructs.
University of York generously gave us financial support to fund our project allowing us to synthesise our genes, buy lab consumables and send eight members from our team to attend the giant iGEM Jamboree in Boston. In particular, we would like to thank Deborah Smith, Jane Grenville, Ian Graham and Jim Woodcock from the Biology and Computer Science departments at the University of York for everything they have done for our team.
YuFund is an organisation that financially supports societies that are ran by students at the University of York with the support of the university’s Alumni. The money that YuFund donated to us enabled us to synthesise our genes. We would like to thank Ellie Haines and Susie Fothergill for all of their guidance and support with raising funds.
SnapGene is a company that designs, develops and produces software that can be used in molecular biology. They provided us with free one-year accounts to allow us to design our constructs.
Go next provided us with a syntheic biology online handbook.
New England Biolabs (NEB) produces and supplies recombinant and native enzyme reagents for the life science research. NEB also provides free access to research tools such as REBASE, InBASE, and Polbase. They provided every iGEM team this year with free kits including competent cells and reagents required for three A assembly.
Synbiota have produced and are developing an electronic laboratory notebook which allows up and coming research scientists to record their lab work. The company has sponsored numerous iGEM teams and have provided us with free access to their online lab book in addition to giving us financial support. We would like to say a huge thank you to Heather Mcgaw for all of her help.
