QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE:QGEN, Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA))))) today announced the launch of the QIAcuityDx Digital PCR System, a pivotal addition to its digital PCR portfolio now expanding into clinical diagnostics. The instrument and accessories are 510(k) exempt in the U.S. and IVDR-certified for diagnostic use in Europe.

QIAcuityDx streamlines clinical testing by providing highly precise, absolute quantitation of target DNA and RNA, supporting applications with less invasive liquid biopsies. These capabilities make it an ideal tool for monitoring cancer progression, complementing routine cancer diagnoses, which are typically performed using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).

QIAGEN is rapidly expanding the application menu available on QIAcuityDx-System, with a new BCR::ABL assay for oncohematology planned for FDA submission in 2025. The platform also provides immediate access to QIAGEN's full portfolio of research-use products and applications via its GeneGlobe platform. QIAGEN has already signed three partnerships with pharmaceutical companies to develop companion diagnostics on the QIAcuityDx, moving digital PCR into precision medicine. In addition, QIAGEN plans to further enhance the future assay portfolio by collaborating with third parties, who will develop their own assays for the platform.
