Description
PURPOSE
«ALPREP Forensic Direct» Reagent is designed for fast DNA extraction from biological samples for subsequent analysis by Polymerase Chain Reaction. The reagent can be used in forensic and scientific laboratories.
ASSAY PRINCIPLE
The principle of the method is based on cell lysis and DNA release into a solution that is suitable for PCR without additional washing steps.
BIOMATERIAL FOR ANALYSIS
- biomaterial collected on a carrier (e.g., the head of a cotton swab for collecting buccal epithelium);
- blood;
- cytological samples.
ADVANTAGES
- fast lysis procedure – 15 minutes;
- DNA sample is suitable for PCR;
- possibility of DNA extraction in a pre-dissected deep-well plate.
