The Novus Story
Novus Biologicals was founded in the summer of 1996 to manufacture, license, and supply antibodies to support niche and emerging areas of research. From Western blots on the kitchen table to a full lab and 500,000 plus antibodies and antibody-related products, we have come a long way from our niche antibody strategy. Novus is built on honesty, collaboration and strong relationships and will continue to provide quality tools and innovative new product lines to empower the bioscience research community.
Novus Biologicals became part of the Bio-Techne family in 2014, which provided our customers access to an expanded portfolio of high quality reagents and, more recently, analytical instruments. As of 2024 Novusbio.com has moved to Bio-Techne.com. Bio-Techne.com offers an enhanced online user experience with added functionality, improved resources, and easy to use e-commerce capabilities.

Learn more about the Novus Biologicals origin story
Novus’ founder, Karen Padgett, had recently left a biotech company, but strived to recreate this business in her own way. She was at home, pregnant with twins, on bed rest and had a two-year-old boy. Even in the midst of her busy home life, Karen was eager to form her own company. Soon, a name was brainstormed, a logo was created, a website was formed, the twins were born and the company launched. Novus was run out of Karen Padgett’s house for about one year. The company became much busier, and the first employee was hired. Soon after, it was moved to its first office in Littleton, CO.
The name, “Novus,” was chosen because it means novel, unusual, extraordinary in Latin which was the early product focus.
Karen Padgett (Novus founder) envisioned a company that would offer personalized service for customers, collaborators and licensors and bring value to the scientific community by offering antibodies that are normally difficult to find. Today, that vision stands true. We at Novus Biologicals hold great respect for our customers, suppliers and employees. We invest in creative solutions to ensure the highest level of productivity and customer experience. Novus as a company is built on honesty, collaboration and strong relationships and will continue to provide quality tools to accelerate the bioscience research community.
The first product ordered from Novus was APE1, catalog number NB100-101 in 1997.
