For other uses, see Techne (disambiguation).

Techne Ltd. was a company founded in Cambridge, UK by Norman de Bruyne in 1948 to manufacture gelation timers and thermal cycler equipment. The company was sold after the founder's death by his son John. After changing hands many times, the company finally closed in 2005. Techne branded products are now manufactured by the parent company Barloworld Scientific Ltd. From the time of its formation until 1999 Techne was located in Duxford vicarage near Cambridge. At this point, however, the property was sold for housing development and the company moved to the industrial estate 100 yards (91 m) up the road.
