Some grants fund your next experiments
In fewer than 200 words, this one could save you from manual nucleic acid extractions.
A total of five grants will be awarded. Awardees will receive:
- One QIAmini
- Two of the following QIAmini kits of your choice:
- QIAmini RNA Tissue/Cells Kit
- QIAmini DNA Tissue/Cells Kit
- QIAmini DNA Blood Kit
- QIAmini Pathogen Kit
- QIAmini PowerFecal Pro DNA/RNA Kit
In addition, we could feature your research on our website, in our events and on our
social media channels.
Tell us what makes your research meaningful and how it would benefit from QIAmini.
Meet your new lab mate
It won’t borrow your pipettes, and it definitely won’t complain about repetitive work.
QIAmini purifies nucleic acids while you keep your science moving. For up to 8 samples at a time: Lyse, load and press a button. Then your hands are free. Make those buffers. Read that research. Write that next grant. QIAmini uses magnetic bead technology and an in-browser app. So, it’s easy to use. Repeated training sessions and manual slip ups are things of the past.
How to apply
Simply fill out and submit the tiny application to win a QIAmini by August 21, 2026 at 11:59 (GMT+0).
That’s it.
Our expert panel will select five winning submissions.
Please see the full Terms and Conditions for more information.
Eligibility
