Innovations That Work For You

At PreAnalytiX, we bring new technologies to our customers in the form of products that standardize the collection, preservation, and processing of biospecimens to provide the highest quality biomarkers for research and the diagnosis and treatment of human disease.

 Our accomplishments are a testament to our dedication to innovation.


Launch of the PAXgene Saliva Collector, a non-invasive and painless method of sample collection. The PAXgene Saliva Collector is part of a standardized preanalytical workflow for human saliva collection, stabilization, transportation, and storage through nucleic acid extraction and analyses.


Launch of QIAsymphony PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Kit (CE-IVD) together with PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes (CE-IVD) as first products CE marked for In Vitro Diagnostic use according to the EU IVDR 2017/746. For automated purification of circulating, cell free DNA (ccfDNA) from plasma generated from whole blood collected into PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes (CE-IVD) using the QIAGEN QIAsymphony SP instrument.


PreAnalytiX fulfilled the QMS requirements of the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation EU IVDR 2017/746 and successfully passed the EU Notified Body inspection of its Quality Management System (QMS) according to ISO 13485 and in compliance to the new EU IVDR 2017/746
