As a forensic scientist do you find it tedious to store your data?
Have you experienced unreliable storage?
Are you looking for an easier, more flexible system for your kinship analysis?
Let’s face it; forensic DNA laboratories today encounter numerous challenges when it comes to efficient data management. Most laboratories rely heavily on software systems to effectively manage these daunting day-to-day laboratory operations. Paternity and relationship testing labs need a simplified tool to support their complex cases. If you’re nodding your head while reading this, then it might be worth checking out Applied Biosystems Converge™ software.
Converge software not only streamlines and integrates those disjointed day-to-day operations but also helps decrease the number of manual steps involved, and simplifies the complexity of paternity testing; all while being easy to use- which in and of itself is usually a difficult feat when it comes to software.
Don’t believe it’s possible? Read about our press release and watch the video below for a closer look at the new Converge software…
The Platform
Have you wasted precious time searching for data through multiple systems? Designed to centralize all data management operations—analysis, reporting & storage— Converge™ offers a comprehensive, validated platform, that is highly customizable to meet your lab’s needs. Automated processing and seamless integration into your existing workflow offer the increased efficiency you’re looking for. Starting with the kinship and paternity application, the platform enables the software to deliver even more capabilities as we continue to introduce new applications.
Case Management
Does this look familiar? Converge provides enhanced capabilities designed specifically for DNA workflows and allows for automated data transfer between processing steps, customized input fields and analysis parameters, minimizing the never ending mounds of case files that keep piling at your desk. Other nifty features include data archiving, backup & recovery, security, eSignature, and coveted IT compliance and integration.
Kinship and Paternity Application
How many times have you had to manually calculate kinship or paternity statistics? Labs spend an exorbitant amount of hours creating painful spreadsheets designed for manual processing. This happens because traditional kinship and paternity software tends to be very complex and counterintuitive. Converge software offers a simple, flexible solution to help manage the complexity of paternity and kinship testing, including:
- Automated analysis and reporting utilizing validated algorithms
- Comprehensive analysis parameters allowing for precise and tailored analysis for every case
- Customizable parameters and reports that adapt to your laboratory needs
- Intuitive graphical user interface for pedigree tree drawing
Whether it’s case management or paternity and relationship testing, labs need a better software solution for better data processing. Take a sneak peek at how the Converge software adapts to you.
