forensicGEM™ DNA Extraction – Blood

Home > Biology & DNA  > DNA Processing Kit > forensicGEM™ DNA Extraction – Blood

forensicGEM™ Blood is capable of extracting DNA from fresh liquid blood (fingerpricks), bloodstains on a range of surfaces, EDTA, Citrate and Heparin stabilized blood. The method is quick and closed tube with a simple heat cycle and short centrifugation to sediment debris.

 

forensicGEM™ has been formulated for high-throughput DNA extraction from crime samples. The forensicGEM™ kits have been specifically designed to be compatible with high-multiplex STR profiling kits and all reagents are rigorously Quality Controlled to test for efficacy and for the absence of human DNA.

 

ZyGEM technology is ideally suited to the large-scale batch processing of reference samples for forensic analysis. It is validated by ESR New Zealand, one of the largest forensics laboratories in the world, and forensicGEM™ is a rapid, high throughput processing technology.All forensicGEM™ kits are rigorously tested at a leading forensic laboratory for efficacy and purity. The basis of all of the kits is the forensicGEM™ proteinase, but special formulations have been developed for different substrates.

  • The simplicity of the method maximizes yields of DNA from trace samples

 

  • The kit’s optimized methods and formulations provide PCR ready DNA in just over 30 minutes

 

  • There are no multiple centrifugation steps, washes, vacuums, or columns

 

  • Reactions are closed-tube and hands-off

 

  • All buffers and reagents are compatible with commercially available profiling kits, so no downstream purification is required

 

  • PCR inhibitors commonly found in blood are effectively removed

 

  • Closed–tube (protects sample integrity)

 

  • Hands–off (saves labor costs)

 

  • One-step (maximizes yields and so increases the chance of obtaining a usable profile)

 

  • Easily automated (compatible with most low cost, off-the-shelf liquid handling robots)

 

  • Validated for forensic analysis
