Qiagen
QIAGEN offers a wide range of products, with more than 500 specialized products for over 500,000 users worldwide. They have also designed devices that enable complete automation of laboratory procedures, from the first sample to the final result/product.
QIAGEN’s wide range of consumables includes complete kits for predefined sample preparation and analysis applications, as well as individual enzymes and reagents that research laboratories can use in developing their own applications. For example, QIAGEN’s portfolio includes hundreds of tests for detecting dangerous pathogens, such as influenza, hepatitis, HIV, and tuberculosis. Additionally, the GeneGlobe internet portal offers scientists access to 60,000 tests for analyzing individual genes of various species. QIAGEN’s consumables represent exceptional quality, reliability, and result comparability.
Similar to their consumables, QIAGEN offers automated devices for complete ranges of laboratory procedures from initial sample preparation to final test results. This minimizes human error and increases process efficiency. The human factor is particularly critical in professional laboratories that handle thousands of samples annually and have very strict technology requirements. QIAGEN offers over 15 devices, including the QIAsymphony RGQ®, a revolutionary modular platform that has launched a new era in laboratory automation and covers the entire range of procedures from biological sample preparation to final test results. In addition to other devices specialized for laboratory applications, the product range also includes Point of Need testing systems. These allow users without access to laboratory infrastructures to utilize the latest Sample & Assay Technologies. This is crucial when results need to be very fast, such as in medical emergencies. The latest additions include digital PCR and the Qiastat-Dx apparatus for syndromic testing.
Appropriate solutions are essential for various issues. Therefore, QIAGEN offers a range of innovative technologies that make molecular biology more accessible to a broader range of users.
Example:
- Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) – a method that amplifies genetic information and makes it available. This process provides highly accurate results and is particularly significant when dealing with very small traces of the molecules being tested – for instance, in food testing when detecting pathogens or in genetic fingerprinting analysis.
- Next-generation sequencing (NGS) – a method that allows for easier, faster, and cheaper decoding of genetic information compared to conventional methods. QIAGEN aims to enable routine use of this revolutionary method not only in research laboratories but also in clinical research and diagnostics.
- Pyrosequencing – a high-resolution detection technology that allows real-time analysis of genetic mutations.
