Company Description
Oxyrase, Inc. is an ISO9001:2015 certified biotechnology manufacturing company and for over 30 years we have focused on providing our unique oxygen removal technology to many industries. We make a proprietary product, which is an enzyme system that efficiently and specifically removes oxygen from liquid, semisolid, and indirectly from gaseous environments.
From our facility in north central Ohio, Oxyrase, Inc. manufactures this enzyme system and incorporates it into unique products that optimize its action for a given application. Many of these products are directed to anaerobe microbiology: the science of isolating, growing, and identifying microorganisms which thrive in environments devoid of oxygen.
