Sample & Assay Technologies Forward looking statements

Safe Harbor Statement: Certain of the statements contained in this presentation may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. To the extent that any of the statements contained herein relating to QIAGEN's products, markets, strategy or operating results, including without limitation its expected operating results, are forward-looking, such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that involve a number of uncertainties and risks. Such uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to, risks associated with management of growth and international operations (including the effects of currency fluctuations, regulatory processes and dependence on logistics), variability of operating results and allocations between customer classes, the commercial development of markets for our products in applied testing, personalized healthcare, clinical research, proteomics, women's health/HPV testing and nucleic acid-based molecular diagnostics; changing relationships with customers, suppliers and strategic partners; competition; rapid or unexpected changes in technologies; fluctuations in demand for QIAGEN's products (including fluctuations due to general economic conditions, the level and timing of customers' funding, budgets and other factors); our ability to obtain regulatory approval of our products; difficulties in successfully adapting QIAGEN's products to integrated solutions and producing such products; the ability of QIAGEN to identify and develop new products and to differentiate and protect our products from competitors' products; market acceptance of QIAGEN's new products and the integration of acquired technologies and businesses.

(1) Total sales includes contributions from the Cellestis (August 29, 2011) and Ipsogen (July 12, 2011) acquisitions and the rest of the QIAGEN business These expectations do not take into account any acquisitions that could be completed during 2012

(2) Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures that QIAGEN believes should be considered in addition to the reported results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be considered a substitute. QIAGEN believes certain items – such as those listed above – should be excluded from adjusted results when they are outside the ongoing core operations, vary significantly from period to period, or affect the comparability of results with its competitors and its own prior periods. For further information on adjustments, please refer to the reconciliation tables in QIAGEN's Q1 2012 earnings release or appendices

(3) Full-year charge comprised of approximately $10 million for Cellestis and Ipsogen acquisitions and approximately $20 million for efficiency project.(4) Every $1.00 increase of share price results in ~1 million increase of weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding
