Single-cell analysis is a set of laboratory methods that examine the characteristics and activity of individual cells rather than averaging many cells together; think of listening to each musician in an orchestra instead of the whole symphony. For investors, it matters because it can reveal rare cells, distinct disease mechanisms, or precise drug effects that drive more targeted therapies, faster clinical development, and potentially higher-value biotech products.
genomic profilingmedical
Genomic profiling is the process of reading a person’s or tumor’s genetic blueprint to identify mutations or patterns that affect disease behavior and treatment response. For investors, it matters because these profiles guide development and use of targeted therapies and diagnostics, shaping clinical trial success, market demand, regulatory approval, and potential revenue—much like a detailed map that helps developers choose the most promising routes and avoid dead ends.
nucleic acidmedical
Large biological molecules—DNA and RNA—that store and carry the genetic instructions for living things, like an instruction manual that tells cells what to build and how to behave. Investors pay attention because many diagnostics, therapies and vaccines are based on reading or manipulating these molecules; successes or setbacks in those products, manufacturing, patents or regulatory approval can materially affect a company’s prospects and valuation.
ivdregulatory
IVD stands for in vitro diagnostic — tests, instruments and kits that analyze samples taken from the body (blood, saliva, tissue) outside the body, such as lab assays or home pregnancy tests. Investors watch IVDs because they drive recurring sales, depend on regulatory approval and insurance coverage to reach markets, and differences in accuracy, cost or availability can quickly affect a maker’s revenue and legal risk.
ffpemedical
FFPE stands for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, a standard laboratory method for preserving tissue samples by chemically fixing them and enclosing them in wax so they keep their structure over time. Think of it like embedding a pressed flower in wax to preserve its shape and details. For investors, FFPE matters because many diagnostic tests, drug development studies and biomarker analyses rely on these preserved samples; their quality and compatibility with laboratory assays affect clinical validation, regulatory approval and the commercial value of pathology and diagnostics products.
next-generation sequencerstechnical
Next-generation sequencers are high-speed machines that read the order of DNA or RNA letters much faster and cheaper than older methods, like moving from a walk-in scanner to a high-speed document feeder for genetic material. For investors, they matter because they enable new diagnostic tests, drug discovery and personalized treatments that can create recurring revenue, lower costs and open markets for labs and biotech firms, affecting growth and valuation.
homologous recombination deficiencymedical
A condition in which a cell’s ability to fix certain types of DNA damage is impaired, like a zipper that can’t close properly after being pulled apart. Investors care because tumors with this flaw are often more sensitive to specific drugs and diagnostic tests, making related treatments, companion diagnostics, and clinical trial results potentially decisive for a company’s drug value and future revenue.
biomarkermedical
A biomarker is a measurable indicator found in the body, such as in blood or tissues, that provides information about health, disease, or how the body responds to treatment. For investors, biomarkers can signal the potential success or risk of medical products or therapies, influencing the value of related companies and industry trends. They act like signals or clues that help assess the progress of medical advancements and their market impact.

Highlights solutions addressing key oncology research needs across automated sample preparation, single-cell analysis, genomic profiling and data analysis
QIAsymphony Connect will serve as a foundation for lab workflows, enabling standardized nucleic acid extraction for clinical and translational research
Introduction of the QIAGEN Discovery Platform, an AI-grounding solution to power downstream AI applications and support drug discovery for research purposes
GERMANTOWN, Md. & VENLO, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced it will showcase its oncology workflow applications at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026 in San Diego, demonstrating how its portfolio connects sample preparation with multi-omics profiling and genomic data interpretation to support cancer research and molecular diagnostics.
QIAGEN to showcase QIAsymphony Connect among other solutions addressing key oncology research needs
“Cancer research and molecular diagnostics are increasingly constrained by fragmented workflows, variability in sample processing and the growing complexity of multi-omics data,” said Nitin Sood, Senior Vice President and Head of Product Portfolio & Innovation at QIAGEN. “At AACR, we are demonstrating how QIAGEN’s Sample to Insight portfolio helps standardize critical steps from sample preparation through data interpretation, enabling more consistent results, improved reproducibility and more confident insights from complex biological data.”
At the AACR Annual Meeting 2026, QIAGEN will showcase applications across key stages of the oncology workflow, from sample preparation to genomic profiling and data interpretation:
Sample technologies: New instruments and kits highlighting Parse single-cell solutions
QIAsymphony Connect: The upcoming IVD QIAsymphony Connect will support oncology workflows in laboratories around the world. This scalable automation platform for clinical molecular testing builds on over 3,300 placements of the established QIAsymphony system to automate IVD sample extraction, improve laboratory productivity, enhance sample traceability and process safety and deliver highly concentrated nucleic acid for sensitive assays. As molecular testing expands across oncology and other applications, QIAsymphony Connect will help laboratories standardize complex workflows while reducing hands-on time and supporting reproducible, high-quality results.
QIAsprint Connect:Following its launch at the SLAS 2026 meeting in February, QIAsprint Connect for research use only is now progressing through commercialization as QIAGEN’s new high-throughput automation platform for research laboratories. The compact benchtop system enables automated purification of up to 192 DNA or RNA samples per run, supports validated and customizable workflows, and helps laboratories scale sample processing while reducing plastic use and packaging volume.
Evercode single-cell analysis: Parse Biosciences, a QIAGEN company, will highlight at AACR its Evercode Whole Transcriptome portfolio, including the recently launched v4 kit with higher cell recovery, higher sensitivity and shorter workflow with lower sequencing budget. Parse will also showcase the Evercode Whole Transcriptome FFPE kit, now shipping after the successful completion of an early access program with select partners. The Evercode WT FFPE enables unbiased whole transcriptome single cell RNA sequencing of millions of nuclei from FFPE-preserved tissues using Parse's novel split-pool combinatorial barcoding method.
Genomic profiling:New QIAseq research panels for use on next-generation sequencers (NGS)
QIAseq xHYB HRD Panel: Developed with Myriad Genetics, the QIAseq xHYB HRD Panel is designed to support research into homologous recombination deficiency as an important cancer biomarker for research applications. The assay combines QIAGEN’s hybrid capture technology with Myriad analytics to support assessment of genomic instability, and has shown high concordance with the Myriad myChoice CDx HRD assay.
QIAseq xHYB Trinity DNA/RNA Kit: This new kit enables comprehensive genomic profiling from DNA, RNA or both in a single research workflow using the AVITI platform from Element Biosciences. Designed for use with Element’s Trinity sequencing workflow, it helps streamline target enrichment through a shorter hybridization step, fewer manual cleanup steps and no post-enrichment PCR, reducing hands-on time while supporting high on-target rates and confident variant detection for research applications.
