OZ Biosciences : What floorutions for the delivery of genes andof RNA?

OZ Biosciences is a French biotech specialising in gene and RNA delivery systems. Renowned for its Magnetofection technology, the brand develops transfection reagents and viral transduction enhancers tailored to fragile cells (neuronal, primary and stem cells). From academic R&D to biotech and pharma, it achieves high uptake and transduction rates with tightly controlled cytotoxicity. Distributed by Dutscher, it delivers efficient, reliable and reproducible solutions for modern cell biology. Its magnets and multi-format magnetic plates enable rapid protocols, compatible with 6- to 96-well plates.

A European pioneer in Magnetofection

Born in Marseille, OZ Biosciences quickly established itself as a reference in non-viral transfection and Magnetofection, an approach that combines magnetic nanoparticles with a magnetic field to accelerate and increase the reliability of the cellular uptake of vectors. From academic research to industrial platforms, the brand has built its reputation on tangible innovations, backed by numerous publications and a responsive scientific support team. Rooted in France, with R&D and manufacturing under one roof, it has steadily expanded internationally while keeping the same DNA: measurable efficiency, reproducibility and ease of use. Today, OZ Biosciences supports laboratories on projects ranging from fundamental biology to preclinical applications, with a portfolio focused on performance at the bench.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

The strength of OZ Biosciences lies in transfection and Magnetofection technologies built for demanding cells. The principle: magnetic nanoparticles complex DNA, RNA or viral particles, and a magnetic field concentrates these complexes at the cell surface. The result: optimised vector–cell contact, low doses, shortened incubation times and reduced cytotoxicity.

On the reagent side, the brand offers dedicated DNA, siRNA and mRNA solutions — with widely adopted options such as DreamFect, RmesFect, NeuroMag for primary neurons, as well as magnetic additives and complexes like PolyMag, CombiMag and ViroMag to boost transduction (AAV, lenti, adeno). Magnetic plates and racks suited to 6- to 96-well formats standardise protocols and ease scale-up.

Key applications: neuroscience, immunology, cell screening, genetic engineering and vector optimisation. The reagents are designed for primary cells, stem cells and conventional cell lines, in 2D and in suspension. Every batch undergoes quality controls ensuring consistency and performance, with centralised manufacturing in France for stable lead times and clear traceability. By partnering with OZ Biosciences, Dutscher helps teams choose the right reagent–magnetic format pairing to achieve fast, efficient and reproducible transfers, compatible with the workflows of a modern R&D platform (RUO).

Frequently Asked Questions about the OZ Biosciences brand

What is Magnetofection at OZ Biosciences?
Magnetic nanoparticles complex DNA, RNA or viruses. A magnetic field concentrates them onto cells, boosting cellular uptake with less reagent and shorter incubation times.

Are the reagents suitable for hard-to-transfect cells (neurones, primary cells)?
Yes. Dedicated formulations such as NeuroMag and targeted magnetic complexes address delicate cell types, delivering high yields with controlled cytotoxicity and straightforward protocols.

Can AAV or lentiviral transduction be improved with OZ Biosciences?
Yes, via the ViroMag range, which concentrates viral particles on cells, increases the effective MOI (multiplicity of infection) and shortens exposure time, while remaining compatible with multiwell formats.

What equipment is required to get started with Magnetofection?
Beyond the reagent, magnetic plates/magnets matched to your format (6 to 96 wells) ensure the optimal gradient and reproducibility. Dutscher will advise on the best choice for your cells.

Where are the products manufactured and what quality assurances are in place?
R&D and manufacturing are carried out in France, with lot controls and RUO documentation (Research Use Only). For certificates, CoA and compliance, Dutscher teams provide up-to-date references on request.
