Qiagen acquires unit of Enzymatics and agrees partnership with ArcherDX

12 January 2015

Netherlands-based company Qiagen (Nasdaq: QGEN) has acquired the Enzyme Solutions Unit of privately-held US company Enzymatics.

Enzymatics commercializes a comprehensive portfolio of reagents that are estimated to be used in more than 80% of all global next-generation sequencing (NGS) reactions. The enzymes are key ingredients across the workflows of all commercially available sequencing solutions. Qiagen said the addition of this Enzymatics franchise adds a deep portfolio of capabilities to Qiagen’s strategy to offer a complete NGS workflow from biological sample to valuable molecular insights.

The Enzymatics portfolio that has been acquired will be commercialized globally through Qiagen’s direct, indirect and OEM channels.
