Due to recent advances in genomic sciences and precision medicine, companies are faced with increasing customer demand for more flexible, scalable and affordable molecular biology products. In their efforts to keep pace with technology innovation, many life sciences and molecular diagnostic companies face significant barriers to entry defined by the investment and time needed to develop a new product. QIAGEN Custom Solutions enables companies to overcome those challenges by providing a number of important benefits to its customers:

  • Deep domain expertise – The company has more than 30 years of life science and diagnostic industry experience.
  • Long-standing history as an OEM supplier of choice for molecular solutions - The OEM franchise at QIAGEN is a substantial part of our overall business and spans dozens of deep and long-standing partnerships.
  • Thousands of flexible product capabilities – Expansive high-quality product options that directly support product development, ranging from single components to full workflow solutions, including product kitting and packaging
  • World-class facilities and quality systems – Four production sites, GMP and ISO certifications, excellent process control and QC/QA capabilities
  • Affordability and scalability – Cost-effective options that significantly lower the barrier to entry for start-ups and provide economy of scale to large enterprises
  • Continuous innovation and reinvestment – Approximately 10 percent of its sales have been reinvested in R&D that helps support the new Custom Solutions business, the success of this reinvestment is evidenced by more than 2,000 patents awarded to QIAGEN.
  • Confidentiality – A series of well-established firewalls protect partner confidentiality, ensuring no leakage outside the OEM franchise.

“QIAGEN is proud to serve as an enabler to life science and molecular diagnostics companies to allow them to build high-quality custom products that meet the most demanding workflow requirements,” said Hans Peter Fatscher, Ph.D., vice president and head of QIAGEN Custom Solutions. “We are excited by the opportunity to be able to work with customers as they grow their businesses. We look forward to being their partner for innovative product development and their commercial success.”

Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

Sequencing systems operate via varying technologies depending on the manufacturer, including sequencing by synthesis, ligation, pyrosequencing, ion semiconductor and single-molecule real-time sequencing. For NGS, library preparation is paramount to successful sequencing. In this section, explore a range of library preparation kits, from targeted, amplicon-based or hybridization-based kits including epigenomic, transcriptomic and genomic workflows to fragmentation kits.

It plays a crucial role in gene expression analysis, pathogen detection, and quantifying DNA or RNA in various applications. Real-time PCR provides precise, quantitative results and is widely used in research, diagnostics, and clinical studies.
