To use your lab’s existing thermocycler or liquid handler, choose the forensicGEM Universal Kit, optimized to extract DNA from liquid saliva, buccal swabs, stains and storage cards. Hands-off, single tube, temperature-controlled processing makes it possible to extract DNA in very small volumes and protects the integrity of the sample.
This kit produces single-stranded DNA suitable for STR, PCR, qPCR, and whole genome amplification.
forensicGEM Universal kit utilizes MicroGEM’s novel thermophilic proteinase to offer a perfect solution for forensic sample processing where speed, sample size and sample integrity are critical.
Sample Types: saliva (liquid, swab, stains, storage card – FTA, cigarette butts), blood (liquid, swab, stains, storage card – FTA), & tissue (solid, hair)
Downstream applications: STR, PCR, qPCR
Key Advantages:
