ForensicGEM Universal DNA Extraction Kit

Exymes forensicGEM Universal kit provides effortless DNA extraction for forensic saliva, blood and tissue samples

Samples including:

• Liquid
• Swab
• Stains
• Storage Card (FTA)

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 Exymes 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:

• Single-Tube DNA extraction in less than 15 minutes
• No need for inhibitory chemicals, such SDS, mercaptoethanol and DTT
• No transfer steps – yield is maximized and opportunities for mistakes and
• contamination are minimized
• High DNA recovery – Minimal loss of nucleic acids during extraction
• No magnetic beads – No spin-columns
• Reduced handling protects the integrity of the sample
• Flexibility – suitable for low-throughput to high-throughput extraction with a
• single protocol
• Easily automated using standard liquid handling solutions
• Minimal plasticware required – Reduced waste and supply chain issues
