Quant Duo® Quantification Kit
Through Quant Duo® kit we are able to determine with a high degree of accuracy, whether DNA is present in a sample, at what quantity and whether it is from a male or female.
AmpFLSTR® Identifiler® and Promega PowerPlex 16® PCR Amplification Kits
The method of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) allows the analyst to copy (amplify) very specific sections of the chromosome resulting in over a million fold increase in the amount of that specific region of interest. The AmpFLSTR® PCR Amplification Kits are utilized to simultaneously amplify at least the 13 core FBI National Database loci plus the Amelogenin gender determining marker in addition to PentaE, PentaD, D2S1338 and D19S433.
AmpFℓSTR® MiniFiler™ PCR Amplification Kit
AmpFℓSTR® MiniFiler™ PCR Amplification Kit increases your ability to obtain DNA results from compromised samples that previously would have yielded limited or no genetic data. This means cold cases can come off the shelf for re-analysis and new, challenging samples have a better chance of delivering interpretable results.
AmpFℓSTR® Yfiler® PCR Amplification Kit
Y-STRs can be used to examine sexual assault evidence. In a sexual assault case, evidence such as vaginal swabs will contain both female and male DNA. Differential extraction is often used to separate the male component from the female component.
Y-STR is also used for non-sexual assault cases where mixed samples are collected from evidence. Sometimes, regular STR will cause the masking effect if there is a very small quantity of male DNA in the mixed sample. Performing Y-STR testing can help to identify all males who have contributed to the evidence.
