Automated Sample Preparation
Power up your research
Why automate?
Supercharge productivity
Multiply your throughput. Process almost any sample type with automated sample preparation.
Maximize your resources
Extend productive lab hours without extending human hours, through remote connectivity, on QIAsphere-ready instruments.
Enhance reproducibility
Achieve consistent reproducibility by processing each set of samples in the same way.
Humanize your lab
Automate mechanical tasks and focus on what humans do best: dissecting problems, designing possibilities.
We get a huge variation of samples, including blood that isn’t always stored as it should have been. ... QIAsymphony delivers the most stable results.
Dr. Kerstin Stangier, Director of Production, GATC BIOTECH
What’s new?
The NEW TissueLyser III is here to shake things up
Effectively lyse up to 192 samples at the same time, including the most challenging sample types, to ensure successful downstream DNA and RNA analysis.

Connect your instrument to your phone and get more done from outside the lab.
Customer stories
Man’s best friend
Dr. Tomas Bergström and his team are undertaking groundbreaking research to better understand and, hopefully, treat genetic human eye diseases. And they’re doing it by studying dogs. But why dogs?
Diverse appeal
Four experts. Four different workplaces. Working in four different scientific fields. In four different countries. What do they have common?
How the University of Tübingen uses QIAsphere
We asked one of our customers what it’s like to have QIAsphere connectivity in their lab.
End-to-end automated nucleic acid extraction platforms and services
Instruments & automation
Go beyond thorough lysis and purification. Achieve pipetting precision and quality control efficiency that manual procedures simply cannot match.
Automatable kits
No matter what sample type you are purifying, there is likely a QIAGEN kit for it that you can use with your QIAGEN instrument.
Training and maintenance
Make sure your instruments are used and maintained optimally. Choose the service plan that best fits your needs.
Trade in, trade up
Trade up your old QIAGEN instruments for new ones. Or trade in a non-QIAGEN instrument and get the QIAGEN instrument you’ve always dreamed of.
A small company like ours must work in a very cost-efficient manner. ... To achieve this, we use QIAsymphony, which can process up to 500 qPCR samples per day.
Sara Ramió, technical director, GoodGut
