About Us

Mission and vision: supporting science-based breeding success

Zhangjiakou SENO Biotech Co., Ltd.

SENO Biotech was founded in 2014 and has more than a decade of focused experience in gene testing and reagent development in biotechnology. We apply advanced molecular biology to avian genetics, giving fanciers and breeders worldwide reliable, data-driven genetic insight.

In 2020 the company was invited to move into the North Silicon Valley park in Qiaodong District, Zhangjiakou, and was established as a key regional technology enterprise. The company has been recognised as a National High-Tech Enterprise and a technology-based SME, and in 2021 was designated a key gene-testing laboratory of Zhangjiakou.

Our three core services are racing pigeon flight-gene testing, pathogen testing and DNA ID / kinship testing. Using high-precision molecular diagnostics, we provide scientific, dependable testing for fanciers, breeders and researchers worldwide.

Expert team

Specialists accountable for every report

Dr. Zhang Yiwen

Chief Scientific Expert

Holds a PhD in genetics from Hebei Agricultural University. Long engaged in avian genetics and molecular diagnostics research, recognised in the field in 2024, and continues to advance racing pigeon genetics and performance-diagnostics research.

R&D Team

Molecular diagnostics R&D

Led by two PhDs and two MSc holders within a 15-person team; more than half have five or more years of laboratory experience, focused on developing and validating PCR/qPCR test systems.

Quality Control Team

Quality control and review

Every test report is double-reviewed by independent QC staff under strict MIQE guidelines and internal QC standards, so results are traceable and reproducible.

Quality control standards

A multi-dimensional QC system for accurate, dependable results

✓ MIQE guidelines are followed to keep qPCR experiments reproducible, accurate and transparent
✓ Every reaction includes an internal amplification control to verify extraction efficiency and sample integrity
✓ A dUTP/UNG system eliminates aerosol contamination and prevents false positives
✓ Amplification efficiency is monitored at 95%–105% for reliable detection of low-load samples
✓ A double-review mechanism: every report is signed off after review by independent QC staff
