Qidong Fungene Biotechnology, formerly known as Beijing Fungene Biotechnology Co., Ltd., was established in April 2019. The company is located in the Qidong Economic Development Zone and has collaborated with the Peking University Institute of Life Sciences East Industry Research Institute to establish a comprehensive fruit fly resource platform. Fungene Biotechnology is dedicated to providing gene editing technology services using fruit flies and other insects, aiming to support scientific research in various insect-related fields, including gene function analysis and the exploration of methods for pest control, for universities and research institutes both domestically and internationally.

Fungene possesses a mature fruit fly transgenic and gene editing technology platform. With years of accumulated research and development, Fungene Biotechnology has established an efficient gene editing technology platform for fruit flies and other insects, such as Drosophila. This platform enables the company to offer customers a wide range of customizable technical services and comprehensive solutions. These services include conventional fruit fly P-element random insertion, PhiC31 site-specific insertion transgenic services, and gene editing services based on CRISPR/Cas9 technology. These services allow for rapid and efficient mutation and precise editing of target genes. To date, Fungene Biotechnology has completed over 5000 gene editing projects and has established close business relationships with more than 200 domestic and international clients.

Progress in science depends on new techniques, new discoveries and new ideas, probably in that order.” In alignment with Sydney Brenner's insight, BFK pioneers groundbreaking methodologies for laboratories, delivering comprehensive hardware and software solutions globally. With a proven record in equipping numerous labs, we collaborate directly with researchers, offering diverse design expertise in mechanical systems and intricate electrical circuits. Our services encompass complex hardware designs, custom user-friendly graphical interfaces for varied data analysis including physiological data, and behavioural analysis, and plug-and-play, versatile, and easy-to-use automated behavioural units for high-throughput experiments, featuring optogenetic capabilities. BFK is unwaveringly committed to advancing scientific exploration through cutting-edge solutions, collaborative expertise, and empowering researchers for transformative discoveries.



Cairn designs, manufacturers, resells, and integrates advanced microscopy products and solutions. We offer a range of LED light sources, laser systems and optical assemblies; typically used in conjunction with third-party, or Cairn-built (openFrame), microscopes or macrosopes. For detection, our primary focus is on multi-channel imaging using one or more cameras. Most products exploit optical techniques, especially, fluorescence, optogenetics, photolysis and phase contrast. Although fully independent and employee-owned, we are closely allied with Chroma Technology making extensive use of their high performance filters and beamspitters.  For customers in the EU, we have recently started a sister company - Cairn GmbH, Heidelberg.

Zantiks units enable researchers to measure Drosophila adult and larval behaviour, simply. We produce fully integrated and automated behavioural systems, at low cost, for multiple species. Our units can be accessed and operated from any networked device and provide multiple stimuli options including temperature control, vibration, lighting, audio, and food/liquid & odour delivery for maximum flexibility. The compact units provide a controlled environment for standardised behavioural assays including locomotor activity (circadian rhythm & sleep studies,  toxicology screening), and simple learning experiments (startle, habituation, PPI). Results from live video tracking are processed in real-time, so data is immediately available for statistical analysis.
