QIAGEN to discontinue NeuMoDx integrated PCR testing system, support customers during transition period

QIAGEN to discontinue NeuMoDx integrated PCR testing system, support customers during transition period

QIAGEN (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced a decision to discontinue the NeuMoDx 96 and 288 Molecular Systems in light of the market development trends for these product lines following the COVID-19 pandemic and changing customer needs for integrated PCR-based clinical molecular testing systems.

This decision will allow QIAGEN to refocus resources and efforts on developing and commercializing other innovative solutions within its portfolio, in particular the QIAstat-Dx system for syndromic testing, the QIAcuity portfolio of digital PCR systems and the QIAGEN Digital Insights (QDI) bioinformatics business. These are complemented by QIAGEN building on proven leadership positions in Sample technologies and the QuantiFERON-TB franchise.

QIAGEN launches digital PCR Assay Design Tool for QIAcuity, expands customization capabilities of its research platform GeneGlobe

QIAGEN launches digital PCR Assay Design Tool for QIAcuity, expands customization capabilities of its research platform GeneGlobe

QIAGEN (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced the launch of its new digital PCR (dPCR) Custom Assay Design Tool for copy number variation (CNV) analysis for use on its digital PCR platform QIAcuity and several other enhancements in its GeneGlobe Design and Analysis Hub, a comprehensive research platform that integrates pre-designed assays with a database of more than 10,000 biological entities including genes, miRNAs, and pathways. The new advancements aim to support customers with a wide range of assay customization options, from simple to complex and validated multiplex assays, while further improving the user experience.

Genetic research is moving fast, and new target genes are rapidly evolving that are not covered by standard or pre-designed assays. To keep pace and close the need gap, the new digital PCR Custom Assay Design Tool has been developed as an interface on the GeneGlobe platform. It enables customers to design and order assays for use on QIAGEN's digital PCR platform QIAcuity outside of QIAGEN's comprehensive catalog of over 200 wet-lab validated assays for copy number variations profiling in translational cancer research. Copy number variations (CNVs) are a type of genetic variation where specific segments of the DNA are copied more or fewer times than normal in the genome, potentially affecting susceptibility to diseases and response to treatment.

Illumina launches latest chemistry across most popular mid-throughput sequencers, enabling higher quality and greater speed for customers at lower cost

Illumina launches latest chemistry across most popular mid-throughput sequencers, enabling higher quality and greater speed for customers at lower cost

Illumina Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN), a global leader in DNA sequencing and array-based technologies, announced that it has completed integration of its latest chemistry, XLEAP-SBS ™ into all reagents for its NextSeq ™ 1000 and NextSeq 2000 next-generation sequencing (NGS) instruments.

"We are excited to deliver for our NextSeq 1000/2000 customers improved sequencing with faster run times, better quality, and higher output—all at lower cost per kit," said Jason Johnson , head of Global Product Management at Illumina. "XLEAP-SBS chemistry on NextSeq 1000/2000 will enable labs to perform bigger NGS projects without raising the budget, and facilitate greater adoption of multiomic approaches."

In March, the company launched its P4 flow cell (highest output of 540 Gb) with XLEAP-SBS chemistry for the NextSeq 2000, and today it announced that the XLEAP-SBS P1, P2, and P3 flow cells are all now available. XLEAP-SBS chemistry is a faster, higher quality, and more robust sequencing-by-synthesis chemistry that delivers approximately 20% faster turnaround times.

Early-access customers have shared positive feedback on improved quality, stability, and run times. Marc Monot , PhD, head of Biomics at the Institut Pasteur, said, "We were very happy with the quantity and quality of the reads. The Q is very close to Q40 and the stability is a game changer for Illumina. From the first base to the last base, [Illumina] improved the quality of the run quite a lot."

The NextSeq 1000 and NextSeq 2000 Systems are flexible and scalable mid-throughout sequencers that enable a range of applications, including single-cell, whole-exome, and RNA sequencing.
