Product Type | Express PCR Amplification Kit |
Shipping Condition | Dry Ice |
Key Features:
• Up to 5-times faster amplification time than previous-generation kits
• DNA results in <2 hours—using current CE platforms
• Optimized protocols for blood and buccal samples deposited on swab or paper substrates
• The only kit with all markers recommended for inclusion by the CODIS Core Loci Working Group, including all markers commonly used in Europe, for maximum global database compatibility
The GlobalFiler Express kit is a robust and reliable single-amplification STR multiplex kit optimized for use with database and single-source samples. The kit leverages new dyes for the incorporation of additional markers, generating the most discriminating kit available to the forensic community. The kit contains all of the markers included in the major global databases and utilizes optimized reagents, thermal cycling parameters, and the latest advances in oligo synthesis and purification to enable the highest quality results specific to the sample type being processed. Maintenance of the NGM SElect and Identifiler primer sequences helps to ensure maximum concordance with previously typed samples. In addition, multiple gender markers have been added to the multiplex to enable accurate typing of male samples, even highly degraded or Y-negative samples, while increased genotyping accuracy is obtained with the expansion of the allelic ladder allele ranges to include all rare alleles as described in the literature (STRbase).
