The Regulation of the European Union with regards to the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) , adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by industrial use of chemicals, is relevant to QIAGEN and its OEM partners. Octylphenol ethoxylates (OPE), such as Triton X-100, and nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE) are detergents widely used in molecular biology. They were included in the European Authorization list (Annex XIV). Therefore their use by manufactures and end-users will be highly regulated inside the EU in the near future. QIAGENs ongoing efforts in strengthening relationships with third parties in the OEM business include the compliance with existing and upcoming regulations from various authorities. In this Webinar, the implications of the REACH Regulation especially for OEM partners will be reviewed along with OEM by QIAGEN’s strategy and ongoing activities to assure future supply and compliance.
