QIAGEN introduces QIAsprint Connect high-throughput automation system at SLAS2026

QIAGEN has announced the first public showcase of QIAsprint Connect at SLAS2026 International Conference & Exhibition in Boston, marking QIAGEN’s entry into high-throughput benchtop automation for sample processing in research laboratories.

QIAsprint Connect is designed to help labs process large batches of samples efficiently while retaining control over protocols and reducing environmental footprint.

Key features include:

• High-throughput efficiency: Processes up to 192 samples per run with minimal manual intervention.
• Flexible workflow design: Supports QIAGEN-tested and fully customizable protocols via touch-based interface and modular chemistry.
• Sustainability-focused consumables: Reduces plastic use by up to 50% and also cuts packaging volume by 40%.
• Compact benchtop footprint: Provides high-throughput capability in a space-saving format for existing lab environments.
• Connectivity and compliance readiness: Supports modern data integrity and cybersecurity requirements, including 21 CFR Part 11 readiness.

The QIAGEN booth at SLAS will also feature two additional automated extraction systems planned for launch in 2026:

• QIAsymphony Connect: The next generation of QIAGEN’s automated sample preparation platform, designed for high-yield DNA and RNA isolation in clinical applications with complete sample tracking and standardized workflows.
• QIAmini: A compact, benchtop automation solution designed to provide walkaway sample preparation for lower-throughput laboratories seeking an accessible and user-friendly entry into automation.
