NAICS Code for Biotechnology
The primary NAICS code for Biotechnology is 541714 — Research and Development in Biotechnology (except Nanobiotechnology). Businesses classified under NAICS 541714 (Research and Development in Biotechnology (except Nanobiotechnology)) are involved in: conducting biotechnology (except nanobiotechnology) research and experimental development. Biotechnology (except nanobiotechnology) research and experimental development involves the study of the use of microorganisms and cellular and biomolecular processes to develop or alter living or non-living materials. This research and development in biotechnology (except nanobiotechnology) may result in development of new biotechnology (except nanobiotechnology) processes or in prototypes of new or genetically-altered products that may be reproduced, utilized, or implemented by various industries. Typical activities include: Research and Development in Biotechnology (except Nanobiotechnology).
