On Oct 10, we issued an updated research report on Netherlands-based molecular diagnostics provider QIAGEN (NASDAQ:QGEN) . The company offers innovative technologies and products for pre-analytical sample preparation and molecular diagnostics solutions.

We are upbeat about QIAGEN’s partnership and co-marketing agreement with CENTOGENE AG to boost its bioinformatics portfolio. Also, we are encouraged to note that post the receipt of FDA approval in June, QIAGEN announced the complete launch of the fourth generation of its blood test for tuberculosis (TB) infection — QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) — in the United States.

Moreover, the company’s strategic focus to drive growth through Sample to Insight offerings buoys optimism. QIAGEN is forming collaborations in the personalized homecare space as well.
