Company History

In 1994 a company, Biokey American Instruments, was created in Portland, Oregon near the campus of Oregon Health & Science University. Late in 2006 after relocation to California, a company name change led to Biokeystone for broader coverage of biotechnologies and product lines.

Biokeystone has been conducting its operation without advertisement for sixteen years because we believe that the quality is the key for success. By amazing quality performance and word of mouth among Biokeystone users, we have gained product recognition and steady sales in the research community from coast to coast in US and then international (now more and more sales are international by partnership of Biokeystone's international distributors). The quality speaks: Within over 4000 units of equipments sold, only 2 unit was returned and 5 units were replaced, which establishes the confidence of Biokeystone to accept any returns for any reason without asking question or requiring return-authorization.

Advanced bio-coating technologies

After establishment of our first brand name, 6mgel, for patented high-speed gel electrophoresis, Biokeystone has also established its strength of a second brand name, neuVitro, for cell culture techniques and products. One of the featured R&D projects is shown below.

In collaborating with The Saban Research Institute, CHLA, University of Southern California, Biokeystone utilizes its established expertise of advanced bio-coating techniques to explore the underlying principle. A breakthrough was achieved on understanding the principle of neurite guidance and prototyping of industrial manufacture of PLL coated coverslips.

When the PLL coated coverslip was tested, it was observed that neurite growth cones interpreted the organized PLL micro-coating as a potent guidance cue, as shown in red insert above.
