Qiagen launches panels for simultaneous DNA, RNA analysis

Nov. 7, 2019—Qiagen introduced its QIAseq Multimodal Panels, which offer a consolidated workflow to simultaneously enrich DNA variants, RNA fusions, and gene expression levels from a single sample, with input as low as 10 ng of total nucleic acid. It reduces the workflow to approximately nine hours by eliminating the need for two workflows for library preparation from separate DNA and RNA samples.

“This new combined solution enabled us to gain additional insight from the same sample without a major increase in turnaround time,” Vincent Funari, PhD, vice president of research and development at NeoGenomics Laboratories, an early-access customer of QIAseq Multimodal, said in a Qiagen press release. “Having both genomic and transcript-level information allowed our laboratory to derive integrated insights while streamlining our implementation, scaling up the analysis to address new needs, saving staff time compared to the of running separate sequencing workflows.”
