Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples are increasingly being used for genomic profiling of brain tumors, offering a less invasive alternative to tissue biopsies. CSF samples provide a higher signal-to-noise ratio for detecting tumor-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) compared to plasma samples, making them particularly useful for …

February 2022—Qiagen has launched its EZ2 Connect MDx for use in diagnostic laboratories. The platform enables labs to purify DNA and RNA from up to 24 samples at the same time in as few as 30 minutes and uses magnetic-bead technology to extract nucleic acids from blood plasma, serum, stool, and other sample types. The benchtop instrument automatically pierces sealed cartridges, heats samples for incubation, and automates pipetting of beads, buffers, and enzymes. It can be used in research or IVD mode and monitored and managed remotely using the QIAsphere app.
