Qiagen partners with The Scientific Group to expand commercial presence in Africa

Qiagen appointed The Scientific Group, a South Africa-based company and wholly owned subsidiary of Ascendis Medical, as its exclusive commercial partner for Africa, excluding South Africa and the Maghreb. The agreement will raise the profile of Qiagen’s Sample to Insight solutions in Africa and benefit a region with growing needs for modern molecular testing technologies in healthcare and life sciences. Qiagen and TSG share the vision of making improvements in life possible by bringing the world’s leading Sample to Insight molecular testing solutions to clinical and scientific laboratories, and this agreement is integral to Qiagen’s growth strategy for the continent. This partnership greatly complements the TSG product portfolio and will form a fundamental part of Ascendis Medical’s Winning Africa growth strategy.

Qiagen will be closely supporting The Scientific Group in developing the market in Africa, including assistance in securing and managing national screening programs using Qiagen solutions for detection of human papillomavirus (HPV), the primary cause of cervical cancer in women, and latent tuberculosis (TB) infection, a key component in strategies to combat the global epidemic of TB. Qiagen currently serves Africa through its office in Fourways, Johannesburg. In addition to its headquarters in Johannesburg, Ascendis Medical has offices in Zambia, Namibia, and Botswana, with an established network of distributors and agents in the rest of Africa.
