• Deck layout designed to accommodate further downstream workflows (e.g., quantitation and amplification)
The HID NIMBUS Presto System is optimized and validated for use with PrepFiler and PrepFiler BTA automated forensic DNA extraction kits according to the Scientific Working Group for DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM, December 2016).
The GlobalFiler Express PCR Amplification Kit and Prep-n-Go Buffer (for buccal swabs) combines the features of our GlobalFiler Express PCR Amplification Kit with the convenience of sample processing using our Prep-n-Go Buffer (for buccal swabs). The GlobalFiler Express kit is the first 6-dye, 24-locus STR kit that enables direct PCR amplification, eliminating the need to perform DNA extraction or purification steps for DNA database and other single-source reference samples. Prep-n-Go Buffer (for buccal swabs) is specifically designed to enable high-quality direct PCR amplification of single source samples collected on untreated paper or buccal swabs.
The GlobalFiler PCR Amplification Kit is the first 6-dye, 24-locus STR kit that combines maximum compatibility with global databasing loci standards, with dramatically reduced amplification time and superior discrimination power, helping to enable forensic DNA labs worldwide to maximize information recovery and improve overall efficiency. The GlobalFiler kit is part of a fully integrated and validated forensic DNA workflow backed by best-in-class global training, service, and support. This kit is optimized for casework samples and is also available in a format containing an internal quality control (IQC) system, helping forensic DNA labs worldwide maximize information recovery and improve overall efficiency. For database and single-source samples, please see our GlobalFiler Express PCR Amplification Kit.
The AutoMate Express Forensic DNA Extraction System is an easy to use, robust bench-top instrument that utilizes the PrepFiler Express and PrepFiler Express BTA chemistries packaged in pre-filled, foil sealed cartridges. We have designed the PrepFiler chemistry specifically to improve the quantity and quality of DNA isolated from forensic samples, thereby increasing the potential to obtain maximum information from downstream STR analysis.
The ProFlex 96-well PCR system is the latest in our line of Applied Biosystems thermal cyclers.

Amped Authenticate is a software application for forensic image authentication, tampering detection, and camera ballistics on digital images. This product is the only image authentication software on the market that offers a complete suite of powerful tools to exploit the data behind digital images, allowing for the analysis of image integrity, authenticity, metadata, source and history, and detection of tampering prior to its use as intelligence and evidence. With a single product, several tests can be performed to determine if an image has been manipulated as well as verify if a photo was taken from a specific device.
Amped DVRConv is the easiest way to automatically batch convert unplayable video files. Videos from proprietary CCTV/DVR systems, dashcams, body worn cameras, and any other video source can now be converted without effort. With Amped DVRConv, you just drag, drop, and you’re done. This is an ideal tool for technicians tasked with converting a great number of surveillance videos in various proprietary formats, speeding up the triage in cases such as major investigations.
