APPLICATIONS: FORENSIC
The growing use of DNA analysis is transforming the criminal justice field, replacing the fingerprint for individual human identity determinations and enabling powerful new crime-fighting tools. ZyGEM’s family of forensicGEM™ products for use in crime labs is specifically designed to extract DNA from a variety of substances, including buccal swabs, semen, blood and FTA® storage papers.
Maintaining the integrity of forensic samples is critical, and ZyGEM’s unique closed, single tube system for DNA extraction provides major advantages for forensic DNA analysis, greatly reducing the opportunities for contamination or error.
The one-tube forensicGEM™ process for extracting DNA from forensic samples is simple to use and easy to automate with current robotic platforms, making it ideal for database testing as well as case work samples.
