QIAGEN's third quarter and nine-month period 2009 results include the results of operations from the Company's recent acquisitions, the most significant of which was DxS Ltd., acquired in September 2009, and Corbett Life Science, acquired in July 2008. Reconciliations of reported results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to adjusted results are included in the tables accompanying this release.

"We are very pleased with our financial performance in the third quarter of 2009," said Peer Schatz, QIAGEN's Chief Executive Officer. "We saw strong growth in revenues, operating margins and adjusted net income -- all of which exceeded our guidance. In addition, our organic revenue growth came in very strong at 15%."

"Revenue growth was highest in sales to customers in molecular diagnostics (approximately 50% of total revenues) followed by sales to customers in pharma (approximately 21% of total revenues), in applied testing (approximately 6% of total revenues) and in academia (approximately 23% of total revenues). Growth of our sales to customers in molecular diagnostics was fueled by strong sales of our 'prevention' products (primarily HPV screening), 'personalized health care' assays (including our KRAS testing solutions) and profiling solutions (including our influenza and other infectious disease assays). Sales to customers in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry conducting clinical development continued to experience solid growth and sales to customers in pharma discovery are improving. The academic research markets continued to perform solidly and we are looking forward to the effect of the stimulus programs which are expected for 2010."

"The markets we serve demonstrated robust demand and solid economic trends. We are very pleased with the strategic momentum we were able to build since the announcement of our second quarter results in August. Since August we have announced the following acquisitions:



 * The pending acquisition of SABiosciences will add to QIAGEN a
   portfolio of PCR-based, pathway-focused panels that represent
   highly efficient solutions for pathway- and disease-biomarker
   discovery and development in pharmaceutical and biomedical
   research. The efforts associated with the validation of such
   biomarkers can at the same time serve as engines for novel content
   for molecular diagnostics.

 * The acquisition of DxS Ltd. combines two leadership positions to
   create a very powerful leader in a transformational area of
   healthcare: personalized healthcare.

Both transactions are key elements of our strategy to lead in molecular diagnostics-based prevention, profiling and personalized healthcare. These three pillars of our molecular diagnostics strategy are expected to significantly shape and contribute to future improvements in healthcare and have the potential to provide significant benefits to patients as well as exceptional value for payers, providers, and the pharmaceutical industry."

"QIAGEN experienced a successful third quarter. Reported revenues and adjusted earnings per share exceeded our expectations," said Roland Sackers, QIAGEN's Chief Financial Officer. "Assuming constant exchange rates for both quarters, and adjusted for the divesture of certain assets related to our activities in HLA diagnostics (transplantation diagnostics), revenue growth was 18% and was fueled by a strong organic growth of 15% and a positive contribution of 3% from acquisitions.

Our consumable products portfolio contributed 12% growth (16% at constant exchange rates) and our sales of instrumentation products recorded a growth rate of 18% (23% at constant exchange rates). Net sales in the Americas for the third quarter 2009 represented approximately 51% of our overall business and recorded a growth rate of 12% (15% at constant exchange rates) and European sales, which represent approximately 35% of our revenues, showed a growth rate of 16% (24% at constant exchange rates). Net sales in Asia remained strong, showing a growth rate of 41% (37% at constant exchange rates)."

Increase of Fiscal Year 2009 Guidance Range

Based on the successful first nine months and a positive outlook for the rest of the year, QIAGEN is increasing its expectations for adjusted diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year 2009 from the previous range of $0.86 to $0.90 (based on a weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding of approximately 214 million following the equity offering in September 2009) to now between $0.88 and $0.90 based on foreign currency exchange rates as of January 31, 2009.

QIAGEN -- Sample and Assay Technologies Highlights



 * In September, QIAGEN acquired DxS Ltd., a developer and
   manufacturer of companion diagnostic products (CDx) for
   Personalized Healthcare (PHC). With this acquisition, QIAGEN has
   added to its own activities in CDx and taken a strong leadership
   position in the new era of PHC. The Company believes it offers all
   the required elements to help drive and shape this rapidly emerging
   trend in healthcare. The acquisition of DxS brings to QIAGEN a
   portfolio of molecular diagnostic assays and intellectual property,
   as well as a deep pipeline of active or planned companion
   diagnostic partnerships in oncology with many of the leading
   pharmaceutical companies, including Amgen, Boehringer Ingelheim,
   Bristol-Myers Squibb, AstraZeneca and others. These assets
   complement QIAGEN's strong existing portfolio of personalized
   healthcare diagnostic solutions and are very synergistic with
   QIAGEN's sample and assay technologies.

 * In November, QIAGEN announced that it is in the process of
   acquiring SABiosciences. This transaction will add to QIAGEN's
   product offering a leading portfolio of PCR-based, disease and
   pathway-based panels that play key roles in biomedical research and
   the development of future drugs and diagnostics. The offerings from
   SABiosciences can significantly increase QIAGEN's footprint in the
   rapidly emerging segment of molecular analysis-based clinical
   development in pharmaceutical and biomedical research. In addition,
   the use of these panels and the resulting validation of select
   biomarkers from these panels by institutions conducting biomedical
   and pharmaceutical research has the potential to serve as a unique
   engine to support the expansion of the test menu for QIAGEN's
   diagnostics platforms -- in particular in the area of personalized
   health care but also in prevention and profiling. As such, this
   transaction is highly synergistic with QIAGEN's activities in the
   fast growing segments of solutions for pharmaceutical development
   and molecular diagnostics.

 * In September, QIAGEN and Merck & Co., Inc. announced the creation
   of a joint program to increase access to HPV vaccination and HPV
   DNA testing in some of the poorest areas of the world. This
   initiative is the first collaboration of a vaccine manufacturer and
   a molecular diagnostics company to address the burden of cervical
   cancer with a comprehensive approach. Representing a combined value
   of approximately $600 million based on current U.S. prices, the
   commitments of QIAGEN and Merck were highlighted among a select
   group of corporate initiatives announced at the annual meeting of
   the Clinton Global Initiative in September. QIAGEN intends to add
   to its existing one million test donation program by providing the
   digene HC2 HPV DNA Test (as known as the digene HPV Test) and a new
   HPV DNA test that is currently in development for use specifically
   in the developing world to screen an additional 500,000 women. In
   addition, Merck intends to provide up to five million free doses of
   its cervical cancer vaccine, GARDASIL(R) (Human Papillomavirus
   Quadrivalent (Types 6, 11, 16 and18) Vaccine Recombinant).

 * In September, QIAGEN opened its new Asia headquarters in Zhangjiang
   High-Tech Park, Pudong, Shanghai, China. QIAGEN established
   Shanghai as the location for its Asia headquarters in 2006.
   Resources and employees that were previously spread across
   different locations have been brought together at the new site in
   Zhangjiang High-Tech Park -- which has emerged as the biotechnology
   hub of China. Zhangjiang High-Tech Park is home to 15 multinational
   pharmaceutical R&D centers, 32 Contract Research Organization (CRO)
   companies, 29 major pharma manufacturing plants and over 200
   biotech-pharma companies. QIAGEN's new facility provides better
   access to the Company's new technologies and applications and
   reduces delivery time to thousands of scientists working in the
   Park.

 * In the first nine months of 2009, QIAGEN launched more than 48 new
   products in the area of Sample & Assay Technologies including a
   range of applications used to analyze genetic differences between
   individuals or cells, the Type-it(R) HRM PCR Kit and Rotor-Gene(R)
   ScreenClust HRM Software. HRM (high resolution melting) technology
   enabling fast, accurate genotyping results. In addition QIAGEN
   launched a new PCR-based Influenza A/H1N1 test that enables both
   the highly sensitive and specific detection of the novel Influenza
   A/H1N1, the virus that causes "swine flu", as well as of all other
   known Influenza A and B virus strains and several QIAsafe DNA Blood
   Products, the first dry blood storage solutions available on a
   matrix, based on Biomatrica's innovative SampleMatrix(R) technology.

 * In September, QIAGEN placed 31.6 million shares (including the full
   exercise of an over-allotment option) at a price of $20.25 per
   share. QIAGEN used and expects to use the net proceeds of
   approximately $624 million to fund the acquisition of DxS Ltd. as
   well as potential future acquisitions, to strengthen its balance
   sheet and for general corporate purposes.

 * In October, QIAGEN started the relocation of its activities in
   Brisbane and Sydney to other locations of the Company, primarily to
   QIAGEN Instruments AG in Switzerland. The restructurings follow the
   acquisition of Corbett in 2008 and consolidate QIAGEN's instrument
   manufacturing activities. The closure and relocation is intended to
   be completed in the second quarter of 2010 and is expected to
   result in an increase in QIAGEN's future profitability. QIAGEN
   expects to incur total restructuring charges of approximately $4 to
   $5 million before taxes for the remainder of fiscal 2009 and fiscal
   2010.
