In forensic investigations, buccal swab samples are some of the most challenging samples to process in terms of reproducibility and success rate when DNA is amplified for STR profiling in direct mode. Together with Copan 4N6FLOQSwabs™, the NUCLEIC-CARD™ COLOR and the AmpFℓSTR Identifiler Direct PCR Amplification kit demonstrated to be a consistent and successful processing tool for direct profiling of buccal cell samples. Evaluation of Ambient Shipping Conditions for CE Buffers on Genetic Analyzers in an HID Laboratory Life Technologies has been systematically evaluating novel ways to minimize the environmental impact of shipping refrigerated and frozen products. One way to achieve this is to ship our products at temperatures consistent with their demonstrated stability. Definition of D19S433 in Life Technologies HID STR Products Some customers have noted discrepancies in the nomenclature used for D19S433 allele designation when using Life Technologies HID STR kits when compared to other references such as the Short Tandem Repeat DNA Internet DataBase. We would like to clarify the nomenclature used for D19S433 in Life Technologies HID STR products. |
