Molecular diagnostics major QIAGEN N.V. (NASDAQ:QGEN) recently announced the launch of QIAsymphony SP instrument as a front-end option for sample processing for its GeneReader NGS System outside the U.S. The GeneReader NGS workflow can now integrate with the system, allowing laboratories to perform processing of different samples. The processing and analysis is done to gain valuable molecular insights from samples comprising DNA, RNA and proteins from blood, tissue and other materials.

The GeneReader NGS workflow was launched by Qiagen last year. It is the world’s first complete Sample to Insight NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) solution designed for the delivery of actionable insights. NGS helps labs gain valuable molecular insights but has downsides such as high cost and fragmented workflow. The GeneReader NGS accurately identifies genetic markers (genes or DNA sequences) associated with approved therapies, leading professional guidelines and active clinical trials. It is presently available for sale outside the U.S.

QIAsymphony SP helps non U.S. labs perform sample processing with any difficulty. The instrument offers processing with continuous loading of up to 96 samples and proven protocols to process and purify samples for analysis. QIAsymphony SP is registered with the FDA and is part of workflows approved by the agency. It also offers advanced process control and integrates with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS). The device is currently available for processing tissue samples for the GeneReader NGS System.
