Your oncohematology partner

Blood cancer is an overarching term for cancers affecting the blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system. There are over 100 different types of blood cancer, each involving different key genes.

We understand that laboratories need a partner that can support their diagnostic work, cancer research and clinical decision support in oncohematology.

Read our lab partners' real-world experiences to understand how we were able to support them in rising to the challenges they faced.

Blood Cancer Sample to Insight – lab partner series

European biomedical lab experience – Improved leukemia patient care with molecular analysis

Learn how a European laboratory partnered with QIAGEN to implement an end-to-end solution for JAK2 V617F and CALR testing, using a single blood sample.

Anna Tarasewicz, Specialist Biomedical Scientist in Haematology & Blood Transfusion at BSUH, UK

"We needed a cost-effective onco-hematology solution with shorter turnaround times and improved sensitivity versus outsourcing to the external laboratory. The solution had to be robust, easy to implement and scale-up, adaptable to our existing platforms and covered by NEQAS for external quality assessment."

Clinical research lab experience – Use flexible NGS panels to maximize blood cancer clinical research

Discover how flexible NGS panels have streamlined clinical cancer research, with higher throughput and efficiency, to maintain a laboratory’s competitive edge.

"The testing workflow also needed to be compatible with GC-rich genomic regions, providing 100% coverage of genes rich in GC content such as CEBPA. Accurate detection of large insertions/deletions and the internal tandem duplications (ITD) of the FLT3 gene is also a major factor for us. QIAseq panels were the optimal solution for all of these testing needs."
