UPS delivers Quiagen coronavirus testing kits worldwide
UPS is working with Qiagen, a global provider of molecular diagnostics and sample preparation technologies, to deliver nucleic acid extraction kits critical to Covid-19 testing, as well as the company's novel Qiastat-Dx Coronavirus testing cartridges to destinations around the world.
Lou Rivieccio, president UPS Europe, said: “Business continuity has never been more important for our customers and that is what we continue to deliver whether it be for delivery or storage of medicines, testing kits or medical supplies."
With governments and public authorities classifying UPS as an essential service provider, the company is combining the flexibility of its global network with Qiagen’s increased production capacity for Covid-19 testing kits produced at their facility in Hilden, Germany, to help healthcare workers curb the spread of the disease.
