Testimonials – what our customers say
“I have been using QIAGEN products since my grad days and [I am] extremely satisfied with them in terms of [their] high quality and the ease of use.“
Isabelle Laforest-Lapointe, formally postdoctoral fellow at Arrieta lab at the departments of Physiology & Pharmacology and Pediatrics at University of Calgary, Canada
“The QIAGEN products have always worked the way they are supposed to. The yield obtained by the extraction kits has been highly satisfying. The quality of the extracted DNA is also very good”.
Paula Lado Henalse, Ph.D candidate at Ohio State University, USA
“We have tried various products. The QIAGEN PowerSoil Pro Kit is best at breaking really tough cells. We know if we are able to break those down, the softer cells will be broken. It's got the harder beads and the kit has an inhibitor removal tool which is quite useful.”
Dr. Darren Chooneea, Molecular Laboratories of the Natural History Museum (NHM)
