Vandalia Research, Inc. is a biotechnology research company based in Huntington, West Virginia. The firm specialized in large-scale DNA production using its proprietary Triathlon system, a patented approach that enables the mass production of specific DNA sequences through polymerase chain reaction in a controlled, cell-free setting. Its primary customers were likely organizations needing high-quality DNA material for research and development, addressing needs for scalable, reproducible DNA generation outside traditional cellular processes. Operating within the biotechnology research sector, Vandalia Research positioned itself at the intersection of molecular biology techniques and contract production capabilities. The company’s existence was situated in the early-to-mid-2010s, and it underwent acquisition by Applied DNA Sciences in September 2015, which provides a notable recent development in its corporate history. The location and small size imply a focused engagement in specialized DNA production projects rather than broad consumer-facing activities.
