Important news for Mobio customers

 

Dear Researcher,

As you are probably aware MO BIO has recently been acquired by Qiagen (see details on kits and future  supply below).

At Cambio we can supply you with original format Mobio kits available while stocks last. 

Last day for MO BIO orders is Monday December 12th at 2pm.

 Next year, you will begin to notice a few changes which are outlined below.


  Branding Changes

  • Product Names - MO BIO kits will be re-named and thus become part of the QIAGEN Sample Technologies portfolio. For example, the PowerSoil DNA Isolation Kit will be called the DNeasy PowerSoil Kit. A list of original and new product names is available here. All catalog numbers will remain the same for easy ordering.

  • Packaging - Beginning on January 1, most MO BIO kits will be packaged in a blue QIAGEN box, and the remaining kits will be updated to a blue QIAGEN box between January 1 and April 1.

  • Note that the external shipping box will be labelled with a QIAGEN name beginning on January 1.

Kit Changes

  • Component Names and Sizes - In order to standardize the components across different products, some components will be re-named and the volume or packaging size of the reagents may change. The chemical formulation of the reagents will NOT be changed.

  • Spin Column Plastic - The spin columns will now have the same plastic design as the QIAGEN QIAamp/RNeasy spin columns. The membrane and filter will remain the same to ensure the same performance and quality of nucleic acids, while enabling compatibility with the QIAcube. The updated kits have been extensively tested by MO BIO's R&D and quality control teams and are being validated by two large microbiome consortiums to ensure that the quality, purity, yield and results of the kits are unchanged from the original MO BIO versions. 

Beginning on January 1, 2017 MO BIO will be fully integrated with QIAGEN, meaning that we will be able to offer you an even more comprehensive product portfolio and more options for ordering. On January 1, 2017 MO BIO US customers will continue to have online ordering available at www.mobio.com. During early 2017, MO BIO's website will be expanded to allow online ordering in most regions of the globe and to include MO BIO's DNA, RNA and protein isolation kits along with complementary QIAGEN products for your microbiome research needs. MO BIO products will also be available on QIAGEN's website beginning on January 1, 2017.
