That’s right. We’re making sample extraction a little greener.

Watch the video to see how our new QIAwave Kits can help you reduce plastic and cardboard waste compared to our standard kits every time you prep. 

• QIAwave RNA Mini Kit (based on our standard RNeasy Mini Kit) for total RNA isolation
• QIAwave DNA Blood & Tissue Kit (based on our standard DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit) for genomic DNA isolation
• QIAwave Plasmid Miniprep Kit (based on our standard QIAprep Spin Miniprep Kit) for plasmid DNA isolation

It starts with more eco-friendly packaging

As part of our overall sustainability initiatives, our goal is to minimize our environmental impact by reducing, reusing and recycling wherever possible.

To get started, we’ve created more eco-friendly packaging for our three most popular purification kits and named them QIAwave. So when you choose a QIAwave Kit over a standard kit, you get the same excellent results and a lot less waste.

Concentrated buffers

QIAwave Kits come with new buffer concentrates, saving up to 86% plastic per bottle compared to our standard buffers. Watch the video to see how to reconstitute the buffers in four simple steps.

Reusable Waste Tubes

We’ve replaced our standard Collection Tubes with new Waste Tubes made from 100% recycled plastic that you can reuse throughout the procedure without causing cross-contamination. Watch the video to see how easy it is to reuse the Waste Tubes.

Wave goodbye to excess packaging

Our QIAwave Kits use up to 42% less cardboard than our standard kits, and because they’re so compact, they take up less precious storage space. What’s more, we’re no longer adding printed protocols to our kits. Instead, they’ll be available online to download whenever you need them.
