Features of the HID NIMBUS Presto System include:
• Integrated magnetic particle-based technology for DNA purification in an automated liquid handling platform
• Purify more samples with less hands-on time—up to 96 samples in less than 90 minutes
• Optimized and validated scripts for use with PrepFiler and PrepFiler BTA automated forensic DNA extraction kits
• Uses various consumable plasticware such as 1.5-mL microfuge tubes, 96-well PCR plates, and 96-deep-well plates
• Easy-to-use software interface; start your method in just a few clicks
• 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 Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR System for Human Identification with tower computer is the latest addition to our human identification (HID) real-time PCR family of products.
